So, Ahmadinejad lets the Brits go free

let's see how THIS gets spun...

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would free the 15 detained British sailors and marines Wednesday as an Easter holiday "gift" to the British people.

Iranian state television said the 14 men and one woman, who were seized while on patrol in the northern Persian gulf on March 23, would leave Iran on Thursday. An Iranian official in London said they would be handed over to British diplomats in Tehran.

for starters, bush actually had a positive comment...

President Bush, who had condemned the seizure of the Britons and referred to them as "hostages," also welcomed it, said his national security spokesman, Gordon Johndroe.

but i'm sure bushco will find some way to turn it around... they've got to be terribly disappointed this didn't lead to a conflagration... still, who knows what other tricks bush has up his sleeve (or that he put up tony's sleeve)...?
