        his work last night as Channel 4 revealed that it was considering pulling 
        the programme amid accusations it could upset negotiations with Iran. 
      </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/040407abuse.htm"><P>As Tony Blair insisted that negotiations surrounding the 15 captive marines 
        and sailors had reached a "critical" period, the broadcaster 
        said that it was in hourly discussions with the Foreign Office over whether 
        to go ahead with tomorrow night's airing of The Mark of Cain.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/040407abuse.htm"><P>The provocative drama's screenwriter, Bafta-award winner Tony Marchant, 
        told The Independent that he felt his work was being unfairly targeted 
        and the families of the captives had been "manipulated" into 
        condemning a drama they had not viewed.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/040407abuse.htm"><P>"It is very difficult," Marchant said. "Of course, like 
        anybody else, I am extremely concerned for the welfare of those 15 marines 
        and sailors. But I have to say hand on heart I don't feel it could in 
        any way adversely affect negotiations. It seems a bit of a leap to me.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/81CB93EA-A270-4B36-9E97-E21732C2B5ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
