Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced in a press conference today that he would grant an amnesty to and release the 15 British marines and sailors who were detained while patrolling the Shatt-al-Arab waterway, according to a breaking report on CNN.
A translation of Ahmadinejad's remarks showed him calling on British authorities to avoid prosecuting the sailors and marines once they had been freed for speaking in Iranian broadcasts about the circumstances of their detention. More on the story.

Not good news for Blair or Bush. They wanted to make the world think Iran was a killer uneducated country will axis of evil leaders. Now the Bush team has to spin this story as Blair blows in the wind. I am glad Iran showed they aren't as low as Blair/Bush. I still would like to meet the President of Iran and pick his brain.
