The families of the hikers had hoped that the three Americans might have come to the US with Ahmadinejad but that seems not to have happened. Perhaps Iran hopes some quid pro quo for the release of the three. It would have made more sense to have released the three immediately instead of creating an international incident and keeping them for almost two months now. But at least the president's words give hope the situation can be resolved soon.
""Iranian leader says he'll seek leniency for hikers
By ANNE GEARAN (AP) - 14 hours ago
NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told The Associated Press on Tuesday he will request leniency for three American hikers who apparently strayed across Iran's border.
The Iranian leader said the Americans broke the law, and "we're not happy that this happened."
"What I can ask is that the judiciary expedites the process and gives it its full attention, and to basically look at the case with maximum leniency," Ahmadinejad said.
"The judiciary has its own procedures to follow, but I'm hopeful." """"
