Not sure I have too big a problem with conduct whilst in Iran - survival should have been a key issue.
To be honest the Iran stunt of making them say they were in Iranian waters when it is pretty clear they weren't just confirms my fears about how trustworthy the current regime are (i.e. not at all) - and makes Iran look quite rather childish / dangerous. Weren't some of the GW1 aircrew forced to denounce the war etc. on telly under duress?
Its the "sell your story" aspect I really can't quite get my head around. Just feels all wrong, and I'm not sure MoD in the widest sense (or Browne/Blair) can pick up all the blame.
