The Iranian Foreign Minister said that the 1 female British soldier could be release as early as today or early Thursday.
Earlier British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett announced that the UK would freeze all bilateral business with Tehran until the all sailors and marines are released.

Britain says Iran's detention of the eight Royal Navy sailors and seven Royal Marines, who were conducting a routine inspection of a merchant vessel at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, is illegal and is demanding their release. Iran insists the group was inside its territorial waters. Read more here.
I think that the British are doing to little to deal with the situation, in all seriousness if these would have been American troops, we would probably be working harder diplomatically then the British are. I also feel that President Bush may have decided to use some force to pressure Iran to give them up. What ever the case if this issue is not resolved shortly, we could see World War III in our generation. Why do I say this, Iranian President Amadinejad has declared he wants to destroy the western world, the United States and Israel in particular. If war broke out between Britain, Americas closest ally and Iran, we will see a third front ofthe "War on Terror."

Well, the latest news is that Iran will be freeing the female soldier among those captured.
What kind of bullshit is this? She's a trained killer like the men she was captured with. At the end of her gun, like her male counterparts, dead is dead.
This feminist double standard needs to get its act straight. Women can't play the gender card only when it suits their best interests. Whatever happened to "equality?"
WWIII is definately an overstatement. And the translations of statements made by Iranian President Amadinejad are highly questionable. My belief, his statements are twisted to be used as propaganda here and he makes those statements to use as propaganda in Iran. Irani's want to support a president who's hard on the West, a group they've have a hostile history with (Shah Palavi, Contra, Hostages scandal, etc.). Amadinejad is just another politician.
