Letters From Iran ; But Written By Whom And With Who's Interests In Mind?

The British Navy hostages saga continues uncomfortably, with more letters and video apologies issued, it seems, every day.

Speculation has been gathering that the letters written, we're told by Iranian television, by the sailors themselves are not quite as they seem.

Two ideas are being followed this weekend, either the letters have been written by the hostages (but under duress), or that the letters are out and out fakes by Iran.

Another theory about the captured service personnel is gaining ground is that the story looks like a textbook 'false-flag' operation to stoke anti-Iranian opinion.
