Iran released a video of a second British soldier apologizing for trespassing into Iranian waters.

Fox News reports:

TEHRAN, Iran — One of the 15 British service members held captive in Iran
appeared Friday on the government's Arabic-language TV and apologized for
entering Iranian waters "without permission."Iran also released a third letter
supposedly from the only woman in the group saying she has been "sacrificed" to
the policies of the British and U.S. governments.British Prime Minister Tony
Blair, whose government has insisted that its navy personnel were captured in
Iraqi waters, immediately denounced Iran's treatment of the captured navy
personnel and said it would only lead to further isolation for Iran. The
standoff has added to tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions and over
allegations that Iran is arming Shiite Muslim militias in Iraq."I don't know why
the Iranian regime keeps doing this, all it does it heightens people's sense of
disgust. Captured personnel being paraded and manipulated in this way, it
doesn't fool anyone," he said in a brief statement. "And what the Iranians have
to realize is that if they continue in this way they will face continued
isolation."In the video Friday, Royal Marine rifleman Nathan Thomas Summers was
shown sitting with another male serviceman and the female British sailor Faye
Turney against a pink floral curtain. Both men wore camouflage fatigues with a
label saying "Royal Navy" on their chests and a small British flag stitched to
their left sleeves. Turney wore a blue jumpsuit and a black headscarf."Again I
deeply apologize for entering your waters," Summers said in the clip broadcast
on Al-Alam television. "We trespassed without permission."It was not known
whether the marine spoke under pressure from his captors, but Summers said in
the broadcast "our treatment has been very friendly."Iran earlier broadcast a
video showing Turney saying her team had "trespassed" in Iranian waters, and on
Friday released a third letter from her.The first two letters attributed to
Turney said she was sorry the crew strayed into Iranian waters and asked if it
wasn't time for Britain to withdraw its troops from Iraq. The first letter was
wooden; the second and third had language that was even more stilted."I am
writing to you as a British serviceperson who has been sent to Iraq, sacrificed
due to the intervening policies of the Bush and Blair governments," the letter
Friday said.
