Avioniker,
I gander no support, as everything I've seen convinces me further; as every single argument against the actions of the captain is frighteningly weak. Even on a Military forum it's tough to come up with anything other than excuses for his actions based upon the supposition that he was acting with international empowerment.
He was in Iranian waters. He didn't have that right.
The only thing I absolutely agree with is the political motives alluded to by Lonewolf and others.
