re: #255 darthstar
President Ahmadinejad ordered the release as a marker for the end of Ramadan. The Iranian courts, which are in a bit of a power struggle with him, demanded the “bail”…it’s not clear whether it was paid or not, as the family said they didn’t have the money.
And I don’t see why you’re pleading with the president…you can’t stand him, and if the “mullahs” let the Americans go at his request, you’d just call it a professional courtesy.
The Iranians are holding Americans hostage. It’s the president’s duty to demand their release. Would you agree?
