Outrage as UK ‘hostages’ sell their stories

The 15 British military personnel detained by Iran for 13 days have been given permission by the Ministry of Defence to sell their stories, reports the Observer:

The former captives are expected to make around £250,000 between them. Faye Turney, the 26-year-old seawoman, is likely to get the most profitable deal. She is said to have sold her story for £150,000 in a joint contract with a newspaper and ITV.

Families of soldiers killed in Iraq are outraged. And who can blame them?
