Bronx's tags:
The Iranians have freed the captured British marines, the marines have returned home, and, against all odds, they've been allowed/permitted to sell their stories to the press for close to half a million dollars!

Why? So that the Ministry of Defence can hear what they had to say about their ordeal!

But ,hey, what ordeal? In the hands of the Iranians? No way:

[ On their return to Britain, the sailors and marines said they were blindfolded, bound, kept in isolation and told they faced up to seven years in jail.]


SO, WHO'S BEING CLEVER NOW? AND WHY ARE THE MARINES REALLY BEING ALLOWED TO RECEIVE MONEY?


I SMELL A RAT, OR IS IT JUST SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    UPDATE: more clarifications on this story - some of the 15 ex-captives are not going to accept money, for themselves anyway
