that is the question<\/em>. Impossible d’y \u00e9chapper en observant le comportement des otages, ou prisonniers britanniques lib\u00e9r\u00e9s par l’Iran.

\tCes remarques d’un connaisseur, il resta cinq ans dans les ge\u00f4les de l’ayatollah Khomeini, accus\u00e9 d’\u00eatre un espion britannique, sont int\u00e9ressantes \u00e0 lire. Il s’agit de Roger Cooper, publiant son commentaire dans The Independent<\/em> de ce jour<\/a>. Cooper pose diverses questions qui montrent les doutes qu’il entretient quant \u00e0 la v\u00e9racit\u00e9 des diff\u00e9rentes versions officielles, y compris et surtout celle de Londres.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe press conference given by six of the released naval hostages on Friday raised more questions than it answered. Why weren’t the other nine there, especially the female lead? Why did they all confess to having intruded into Iranian waters? Why did they appear so happy in Tehran and go out of their way to praise Iranian kindness and hospitality? To what extent could they communicate with each other? And after going through what they now describe as a terrifying ordeal, why did they accept their goody bags with apparent gratitude and board their military helicopter at Heathrow still clutching them? Why were statements read out, rather than given impromptu, giving credence to Iran’s claims that they were dictated by the Ministry of Defence?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCooper poursuit en \u00e9voquant la possibilit\u00e9, probabilit\u00e9 pour lui, d’une op\u00e9ration calcul\u00e9e par les Iraniens, pour obtenir la lib\u00e9ration des diplomates iraniens captur\u00e9s par les Am\u00e9ricains le 11 janvier dernier, et se terminant par un accord secret entre Iraniens et Britanniques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tReste la question du traitement des prisonniers. Cooper laisse entendre que tout peut avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 arrang\u00e9, et l’extraordinaire rapidit\u00e9 avec laquelle les prisonniers ont \u00e9t\u00e9 autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 vendre leurs interviews \u00e0 la presse peut faire partie d’un march\u00e9 avec le minist\u00e8re de la d\u00e9fense. Tout cela ressemble d’une fa\u00e7on accablante \u00e0 un montage. Mais le fait est que les Occidentaux, c’est-\u00e0-dire les Am\u00e9ricains donc les Britanniques eux-m\u00eames, n’y ont pas la partie belle. C’est tout le sens de cette derni\u00e8re remarque de Cooper :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abI wouldn’t wish what happened to those Marines on anyone. But the Iranian government will be as aware as anybody that the West’s record on the treatment of prisoners is poor. A propaganda war is being fought, and many in the West fail to realise how different the world looks from the Middle East. As long as our ally has a Guantanamo, for example, in its own back yard, it is a war we are unlikely to win.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
