    News conference 061500.

    There is to be a news conference with the 15 starting at 1500 hrs for those that haven't heard.
    All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy

    Re: News conference 061500.

    having just watched the press conference,my sympathies are even more with the 15 sailors! If Faye Turney was really told the others had all gone home and she was there alone,i'm not bloody surprised she wrote letters that said exactly what she was told to write. And being blindfolded,put against a wall and hearing weapons cocked....
    I'm just glad they're all home safe and well

    "Had bags on there heads" "Solitary confinement and isolation"... fook me stop the press.

    They were put through the mire, and it is clear that they were basically snared by the Iranians for gain. And to hear that Ms Turney was told the men had all been sent back and that she was there alone is a little bit naughty.

    But what will Aunty Tony do?

    Fcuk all.... and we are now no longer patrolling the waters..


    10 - 0 to Iran!

    I'm glad to see them back, horrified (but not surprised) at what they had to endure.
    I'm impressed with the way they have handled the interviews and with the press for behaving. Most amazing must be that members of the press managed to keep OPSEC in mind (BBC and Independent) at the beginning of this saga.

    Will you all please stop speculating so publicly?

    I am extremely angry that some of you have been chopsing off for days about this and that but, kept my tongue in case it caused them grief. As far as I can tell the only w@nks gobbing off in here have never:

    a. Been captured.
    b. Received "proper" training in CAC.

    Thank God they are back.

    Trust me not everything is always as it seems!!

    The truth will out

    PUT YOUR DUMMY BACK IN,we were commenting on what was said at the press conference, by the servicemen in question, and is therefore already in the public domain

    Yes. Things like you saying how "shocked" you were!!

    Why were you shocked? Because you have never received proper CAC trg perhaps?
