Interviews with Mavi Marmara crew members

Here's a link to two interviews with members of the crew of the Mavi Marmara that were apparently done by the IDF. One interview is in English with Hebrew subtitles and it's with the captain of the ship. The other is an interview in Turkish with English subtitles and it's with the ship's chief officer (Hat Tip: Shy Guy). It was also apparently conducted by the IDF (toward the end, you hear some Hebrew in the background.

You have to take these with a grain of salt, but the chief officer seems to imply in the middle there that the 'third captain' was an IHH member and was in cahoots with the terrorists. Both the captain and the third officer claim to have had no idea what was going on until they found the cut polls (I guess circular saws are not ordinary equipment on a boat - contrary to some claims that were made over the last week).

And by the way, what were all those people who were stuck below deck all week thinking? Isn't it strange that we haven't heard from them?

Hmmm.
