Seizure of British Sailors
Interview with journalist David Lindorff,
Newspapers and television screens around the world were filled with the images of captives being held by the Iranian government after 15 British sailors and Marines were seized by naval units of the Revolutionary Guards on March 23. The British crew had been captured after boarding and inspecting an Iraqi boat in the Persian Gulf. Although Britain has declared that their naval forces were in Iraqi waters at the time of their capture, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad released Britain's eight sailors and seven Marines on April 4. Rising tensions between Iran and the West came shortly after the United Nations imposed new sanctions on Tehran for refusing to halt their uranium enrichment program. The U.S. and its allies have accused Iran of working to develop nuclear weapons, a charge denied by the Islamic government, which maintains it is pursuing a civilian nuclear power program. President Bush has deployed two aircraft carrier groups off the Iranian coast. Soon after the Bush administration had publicly accused Iran of being involved in providing weapons and training to Iraqi insurgents, on Jan. 11, the U.S. military seized five Iranian diplomats in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil. It increasingly appears that the seizure of the British naval force was connected to the U.S. capture of these Iranian diplomats. This was underscored when a senior Iraqi foreign ministry official said that his government was "intensively" seeking release of the Iranians held by the U.S. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with journalist Dave Lindorff, who examines the unintended consequences of the Bush administration's decision to capture and hold Iranian diplomats. Journalist Dave Lindorff is co-author, with Barbara Olshansky, of the book, "The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office."
