The USA - well, at least the Blue states - would harp on for weeks and weeks of how these poor, misguided souls were being illegally detained and illegally tortured in some illegal prison by some illegal administration.

So far, it's been five days for the Brits. I suspect it's a few more days before some asshat on DU or some other forum of ridiculousness asserts that the Brits were actually spy and thus should be summarily executed.
Notwithstanding the noxious Iranian regime, if uniformed, legimate, regular-duty military personel were detained in US waters (legal, in any instances I can imagine as possible), I hope that the military would properly detain them in a (legal) military stockade and not torture them.
Absent possession of WMDs or genuine, solid evidence of spying (e.g. a version of the NoKo sub scenarios in SoKo), I hope the military would not ship them off to Gitmo or Syria or wherever on the CIA's time-share of the Red Sox's jet, as that would be against the law and demonstrate very poor judgment.
As to the illegal administration, stop pointing to the fringes to make the left look ridiculous--who here buys into that shite, anyway? Remember, the fringe of the right asserted that 9/11 happened as a judgment of God against secular America, rather than because a bunch of fucking whackos bought into extreme non-sense. Should that get brought up ad nauseum here, too? I sure hope not.
