The Iranians are violating the Geneva Convention in their treatment of the British seamen. They were captured while in Uniform, so are not terrorists or spies, so they are due the protection of the Geneva Convention. No one on the left seems worried about that. Not Rosie O'Donnell or Dick Durbin or Ted Kennedy, not anyone who has claimed that the US violated the Geneva Convention in treatment of terrorists, who aren't covered by the Convention, but who were not being mistreated.
