Thankfully, the Iranians don’t.
The standoff over the 15 naval personnel captured in the Persian Gulf last Friday is threatening to degenerate into the gravest bilateral dispute since BP bought the country in the last century.
"There is no easy way to say this ," says Mohammad Hadi Semati, an expert at the University of Tehran. "One side tortures its prisoners and one side doesn’t. Which side? I don't know."

They say the nicest touch was when they made up the double Iranian coordinates of the spot.
