"How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children. Why don't they respect the values of families in the West?" - Ahmadinejad
DAILY MAIL: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he has pardoned the 15 British sailors and marines detained in the Gulf last month.
He has also publicly decorated the coastguards he said had captured the sailors who "trespassed" into Iranian waters.
He presented them with the medal of honour at a press conference in Tehran, broadcast live around the world and eagerly watched both in Whitehall and in the homes of the sailors' and marines' families.
Mr Ahmadinejad said he wanted to "honour" the coastguards and added he valued their work and he declared the Iranian people would 'steadfastly' oppose aggression.
In a reference to one of the captives, Leading Seaman Faye Turney, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children. Why don't they respect the values of families in the West?" Iranian president says he will free captured British soldiers

I fear that there few things that Ahmadinejad and I would agree on, but this is one thing he and I are in total agreement on.
