White Woman Held By Swarthy Men

With this flap over fifteen Brits arrested by Iranians in the Persian Gulf, WRH mentions:

"How fortunate and a massive stroke of luck that the Independent grabbed this exclusive interview with this soldier.... Its as almost if someone "knew" what was coming and used this great empathy evoking token to full extent."

'This soldier' being Faye Turney, the only woman in the group. It does seem somewhat curious that just hours before she was detained, she had an in depth interview ready to hit the wires.
Well do the news reports grovel for your empathy, ? Nah, they wouldn't do that.

Telegraph - A mother's place is in the Navy
"My little girl is growing up every day. I'm missing that," Faye Turney told reporters who were on HMS Cornwall."

NY Sun - She Knew Risks of Navy Life
"I absolutely love my job because we're all so close-knit. You can't sit back just because you're a girl."

Scotsman - Humiliated and shaking, was she forced to confess?
"Wearing a black headscarf, her voice trembled as she spoke to her unseen interviewer."

Shropshire Star - Faye’s devotion to daughter
"Mr and Mrs Turney were married in 2002 at her family’s local church in Oxon, Shrewsbury. Their daughter was also christened at the church. Mrs Turney’s mother and father - former Shrewsbury Town player Alan Boswell - are both members of the church."
(Hometown paper obviously playing up the Jeebus factor)

Press TV - Faye Turney's letter to her parents
"Dear Mum & Dad, ..."

CNN - Detained 26-year-old sailor is wife and mother
"Expressionless, smoking a cigarette and wearing a black head scarf that masks her blond hair..."
