British Captives rumor?
I heard tonight on a very conservative show on XM that the British soldiers were taken "during an attempted raid by US forces into Iran". It was something about rescuing that guy who it was announced today was missing, except the report said 2 guys.

Did anyone hear anything like this?

7. So they're floating the idea that this was an illegal invasion & the Brits are legally-captured POWs
That doesn't sound like a meme conservatives should particularly want to be floating... :shrug:
