Those hostages should turn things around on the Iranian sand monkeys.
First they should beat each others faces so they can't be shown on tv.
They should not eat at all and attempt to kill themselves. This all will
make the Iranian acne monsters look bad as if they were the abusers. They
should make as much trouble as possible so they Iranian dune fools will
plead with the Brits to take them back.

BTW I just fought my way off of Netkkkop. hahaha!!

"He was held as a prisoner of war in the Hoa Lo prison for the next seven
years. Locked in leg irons in a bath stall, he was routinely tortured and
beaten. When told by his captors that he was to be paraded in public,
Stockdale slit his scalp with a razor to purposely disfigure himself so that
his captors could not use him as propaganda. When they covered his head with
a hat, Stockdale beat himself with a stool until his face was swollen beyond
recognition. He told them in no uncertain terms that they would never use
him. When Stockdale heard that other prisoners were dying under the torture,
he slit his wrists and told them that he preferred death to submission.

Little did Stockdale know that the actions of his wife, Mrs. Sybil
Stockdale, had a tremendous impact on how the North Vietnamese reacted to
these acts of self-mutilation in 1969. Early in her husband's captivity she
organized The League of American Families of POW's and MIA's, with other
wives of servicemen who were in similar circumstance. By 1968 she and her
organization, which called for the President and the U.S. Congress to
publicly acknowledge the mistreatment of the POW's (something that they had
never done even though they had evidence of gross mistreatment), was finally
getting the attention of the American press and consequently the attention
of the North Vietnamese. Mrs. Stockdale personally made these demands known
at The Paris Peace Talks and private comments made to her by the head of the
Vietnamese delegation there indicated concern that her organization might
catch the attention of the American public, something the North Vietnamese
knew could turn the tide against them. The result couldn't have been more
fortunate for James Stockdale at the very time he slit his wrists. The
Vietnamese now understood that they had no choice but to end their program
of brutal torture or else they would be exposed internationally for their
gross acts of cruelty, something that would completely derail their
propaganda program which had so successfully convinced the American press
and public that the prisoners were well treated."
