I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Lomon, from what has been said so far I surmise that the Iranian's prisoner handling was not wholly at odds with the Geneva Convention. Hooding and handcuffing can be argued as protection of the prisoners - it stops them doing anything foolish like trying to escape and getting beaten or shot in the process.

Certainly they seem to have been handled less roughly than on the SAS selection program on TV - no forced marches, starvation, stripping, degrading interogations etc.

As for 15 salad dodgers, a term my daughter agreed with but I had never heard, I don't think you could accuse all the 15 of being salad dodgers.
