I agree with Amanaduial on this. The ring verse states that the one ring will "bind" the other rings. Narya, Nenya, and Vilya (the three elven rings) were not corrupted by Sauron and so he could not control them. The rings he gave to men were the means by which he controlled them and created the wringwraiths.
