Paying for the story

Personally I do not understand the fuss over sailors taking journos sheckels for their stories. I am more bothered by the Navy's failure to protect its sailors from Iranian pirates. But seeing how Amendinnerjacket let them come home for Easter, they too should be gracious and disarm their critics by donating their fat fees to an Iranian children's charity.

Contentious. If you have had the trauma of being held captive by an Iranian then sending money to Iran even if a good cause is the very last thing you will want to do. You won't be thinking of the goodness of the country by any means. Trauma is very powerful and distressing and life long in your subconcious and I don't think anyone should be fooled by how well they look.

I am not an expert on trauma but to remove all criticism of financial profit I commend my suggestion of being gracious. Grace is giving undeserved goodness. It is the way God deals with us.
