Hey, if they don't air video of anything bad going on, it means nothing bad happened. After all, the Iranian government is honest and open isn't it? We should have faith in that, right?

fresh video footage showing the captives playing chess and table tennis, and watching TV. The recordings were briefly aired on the state-run Arabic satellite TV channel Al-Alam in an apparent effort to refute allegations of mistreatment. Anything they say back home will be refuted! Two words Potemkin village. No doubt Iran anticipated the post release coverage.. if someone threatens to beat/kill you if you don't make nice smile for the camera and play ping pong will you argue with them...? When Serbs were being demonized in the US press, 3 US servicemen were captured and subsequently released. All three said (after an initial rough up..) that they were treated quite well. Point being, is they weren't playing to the US line.
