About a year ago there was a big fuss when Iran captured a bunch of British military personal who had intruded in Iranian waters. The British government insisted that they had been in Iraqi waters (as if that’s better), and the Busheviks used the whole thing to attack Iran and try to drum up support for starting another war.
Now, it’s finally come out that the Iranians were telling the truth all along, and that the Evil Empire was not merely mistaken but knew all along what the truth was and were actively lying about it. This is hardly surprising–in fact, it was pretty obvious at the time. Still, The Times deserves credit for persistence in uncovering the proof. We can only hope that the next time Washington or one of its client states says something nasty about Iran, people will remember this.
