Those Poor Western Hostages

The Iranians released footage of the captured British soldiers playing chess and ping pong. It may very well have been a set up. For all we know, there could have been armed soldiers with their rifles trained on the sailors.

What I find comical is the reaction by the West. America and Britain both have zero legs to stand on. The Americans and the British area complaining about the treatment given to the captured sailors. Maybe they would have been better off in say, Gitmo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib or any other of the secret prisons set up around the world. I bet that the prisoners in Guatanamo would love access to ping pong and chess boards. Instead they get really loud offensive music blasted at them while they are forced to stand for days in freeezing conditions.
Here is what the British do to the Arabs today. Just imagine what they used to do to them when they were the imperial power, think poison gas.

In case you missed it here is what the Americans do to their prisoners.
