The Sun Online - News: Faye’s blast at squirming tyrant
GUTSY Faye Turney turned the tables on Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he freed her in front of TV cameras — making him SQUIRM.

She was the first of the 15 hostages ushered forward during the cynical stunt in the madman’s own Tehran palace garden.
As Faye stood in front of bearded Ahmadinejad he asked her through a translator: “How is your daughter?”
Faye fumed in response: “I don’t know, Mr President, I haven’t seen her for 13 days — remember?”

The Islamic fanatic stuttered: “Oh yes. But haven’t you been allowed a phone call to her?”

Faye replied: “No I most certainly have not”.

Taken aback by her forthright response, Ahmadinejad was momentarily lost for words.
Red-faced, he then muttered: “Er, well, good luck in your life and your future”.

And with that he nervously signalled to flunkies to move Faye on so he could meet the next hostage.

Good for her.

Not my country, but I've been thinking... why is it that Iranians were able to board and commandeer a British vessel? I'm assuming the Brits were armed, and they ARE military.

No conspiracy here, obviously... but one wonders who is training these people.

It was just an inflatable raft with an outboard motor I believe.

I understand that they were communicating by radio to their commanders, and when the commanders were told of the situation, they issued orders for the sailors to hold their fire in order to avoid what might be seen as an act of aggression.

Another example of the results of pacifism and appeasement...
