Excerpts - the rest here:Five British hostages who were kidnapped in Iraq almost a year ago are being held inside Iran by Revolutionary Guards, according to two separate sources in the Middle East and London.
The hostages were handed over to the Revolutionary Guards by their Iraqi kidnappers last November, the sources believe. One of the sources said they were being held in the western Iranian city of Hamadan.
If confirmed, the involvement of Revolutionary Guards would be seen as evidence that senior figures in the Iranian government had backed the decision to hold them in the country.
However, British officials said that while there had been rumours that the five were in Iran, they had seen no evidence to support the idea.
One of the sources, who has close links to the Revolutionary Guard, said the captors were looking for a face-saving way of freeing them. They have suggested the hostages write to church leaders in the UK asking for assistance in gaining their release, the source said.

Huh? Looking for a face-saving way of freeing them? Why? You cant admit you screwed up?
The Klown thinks this is one of the main reasons for ridiculous situations in the world ... peeps can't admit they screwed up. Just ask the peeps down there in Texas where they snagged all those kids from their parents and now they DAMN WELL BETTER find themselves a witch.
I need a name for this situation so I can point it out when I see it. Any suggestions?
