Fisherman: British Sailors Detained In Iraqi Waters
The Peninsula VIA Drudge
An Iraqi fisherman who said he saw Iranian forces detain British sailors and marines on Friday in a waterway between Iraq and Iran said yesterday the ship British forces were searching was anchored in Iraqi waters.

The fisherman, the same one who said he witnessed the sailors being detained several hours before it was confirmed by the British government, said the line between Iranian and Iraqi waters was not marked by buoys but was well known.
“We’ve been working in this job for many years and because of our experience we can distinguish which is the Iraqi and which is Iranian side,” he said, adding that Iraqi boats never venture across because of tight security by Iranian coastguards.
He said the ship the British forces were searching was among several that had been anchored for a week or more, waiting to unload or take on cargo at an Iraqi port. “The ship was in Iraqi waters,” said the fisherman, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
Very interesting. I would take an Iraqi fisherman's word over an Iranian "news" agency any day.
I'm sure it will take, at the latest, tomorrow for left wing blogs to claim the fisherman was bought off so BUSHitler could continue his struggle for world domination.
