The missing sailors mentioned earlier today did not, in fact, disappear and there is no “Bermuda triangle” in the Gulf. Turns out, Iran has been holding them.

The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet in Bahrain is reporting that four U.S. soldiers and four civilians aboard two small civilian contractor boats were recovered Monday in the northern Persian Gulf after several hours in Iranian hands.

All eight of the passengers were found alive, but the two boat captains are being held by Iran.

I still haven’t found a report explaining their presence in Iranian naval territory. Anyone?
