Leading Seaman Faye Turney, 26, the only female member of the 15 navy personnel captured last week by Iranian forces, calls for British forces to prepare an exit strategy from Iraq.
“Isn’t it time for us to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future?” she asks.
LS Turney also states that the vessel in which she was operating when detained had “unfortunately” strayed into Iranian territorial waters.
“Even through our wrongdoing, they have still treated us well and humanely, [for] which I am and always will be eternally grateful,” she writes.
Observers have questioned the veracity of the letter and have suggested that it may have been written under duress. [CNN]
why don’t we get that lunatic neturei karta rabbi group and send them in for diplomatic discussions? better yet–let’s exchange those soldiers for these lunatics — they can stay as long as they want–nah–longer! no one will miss them anyway.
it’s the season you know–we’ll “pass” them “over” –get it!!??
Thats right just nuke em
Nuke ’em, regardless!
They probably threatened her with physical abuse only relevant to a female. Begs the question as to whether females should be allowed in combat roles.
Other female soldiers , (I vaguely remember a female pilot shot down in Iraq), were in fact abused but never revealed such to the media for fear of inflaming passions. It only comes out many years later. If the Iranians abused her , we should nuke Tehran, or better yet, Qum the seat of their vile , distorted religion.

You don’t say!
