Freed British sailors say their confessions were coerced

Warning, this video is disturbing and contains images of harsh psychological Clockwerk Orange style tactics employed against the British.  http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5f9_1176075119

I'm trying to be neutral on this one but it's hard to see any coercion in that video. The video's Saddam would release you could tell the captives were terrified. I can't see anything like that in the video of the Brits.

This may very well become a disaster for the Brits.

If they're coaching the sailors to give accounts of tough conditions, and it isn't the truth, it's bound to sooner or later come out.

It's obvious from the video clip that they were relaxed, at least at that time. The torture must've started after that video was made.

But it is doubtful IMO.

The Brits should've just have let this one drop. Now this issue will stay around for a long time, even make the PR victory for Iran bigger. :-\

I can't wait to see them get their awards at a POW ceremony.

The Bush administration is probably coaxing the british to say their sailors were tortured and what not. They tried to use the situation as a means for starting another war and it backfired big time..
