Iran:Gifts for British sailors · Global Voices
Fred Petrossian

View from Iran talks about the gifts that UK sailors received before leaving Iran. The blogger writes the strangest part yet (at least for me) is the parting gifts. Who provides released foreign captives with parting gifts? They got pistachios too: not too shabby a parting gift at all! Imagine, 5 years in Guantanamo and then you get a little party bag filled with Starbucks coupons and Gap t-shirts. “A mememto of your stay with us.”
