Clever though. Trying to make himself look all noble. If we do ever attack Iran he can always throw in the old "i let your sailor boys go free" speech.

Good stunt or perhaps Blair made a deal to shine his shoes or something.

Magic.

My feeling is a deal was definitely made... especially with the release of the Iranian diplomat by Iraqi forces yesterday/day before. I wouldn't be surprised if a prisoner swap was the reason the Iranians took the Brits in the first place.
