My understanding is that the government of Iran has announced that it intends to indict the sailors as spies, in violation of the oft-quoted Geneva Conventions. Maybe there's been more news on that front (I don't really follow events over the weekend), but given the amount of political and media flak we've taken for being in the gray area in Gitmo, I'm surprised that this event isn't bigger news.
Maybe they've rescinded that part of their announcement?
