In an independent news article released on the internet on Monday, Fisk wrote about the arrest case, "It's definitely not the war on terror. It's the war of humiliation. The humiliation of Britain, the humiliation of Tony Blair, of the British military, of George Bush."

Fisk went on to say that "The master of humiliation - even if Tony Blair doesn't realise it - is Iran."

One way America and Britain are humiliated is the way Iran responded to the "Blair-Bush insistence" on the immediate release of the 15 sailors.

Fisk wrote: "Oh how pleased the Iranians must have been to hear messers Blair and Bush shout for the 'immediate' release of the luckless 15 - this Blair-Bush insistence has assuredly locked them up for weeks - because it is a demand that can be so easily ignored. And will be."

Confessing to the fact that the West is always wrong in its calculations on Iran, he said, "The Iranians, you see, understand the West. And they understand it much better than we understand - or bother to understand - Iran."
