You have to remember, we are dealing with a foreign country. They may take as long or as short to decide the issue as they wish. They have no constitutional right to a speedy trial there. And more then likely they are being held for some kind of political concession. But I place a lot of the blame on this incident on the individuals being held. I mean, come on. Peacefully hiking through a war zone? Next to a nation that has even kidnapped and help British soldiers simply because it wanted to? They may be innocent, and they may have been taken from the Iraqi side of the border. But they were still flaming 'tards to put themselves in that situation in the first place.
