#1 Ahmadinejad opposed the embassy hostage taking so much that he is shown in photos parading blindfolded hostages around and one hostage said he was interrogated by Ahmadinejad. Somehow I place Ahmadinejad's cronies low on the believability meter.

#2 Even without that, Ed, I place them at the bottom of the believability meter. Won't keep CNN from barking about it all day long, though. God, I wish we'd just get it on with them (or Israel). I'm sick of goofing off. Of course, I'd rather back the pro-US groups for a peaceful resolution (a'la Poland in the 80's), but we can't allow them nukes at all.

#3 So when they produce the guy in the photos who we're all getting confused with the new prez, then I'll believe them. If he looks more like the guy in the photo than the prez, I mean. As far as I can tell from the photos, he sure coulda been.

#4 I'd think being one of the hostage-takers would have made him a hero in Iran, maybe even today. Not everybody gets a chance to humiliate the big boy on the block, and even friendly Iranians probably have a soft place in their hearts for a bit of ancient history where they came out on top. So either I'm guessing wrong (not the first time), or he really wasn't substantially involved, or somebody is sending some kind of signal.

#5 Doesn't matter one way or the other.

#6 Agreed, Ship. -80 or -100 - who can tell? It's just major cold, baby.

Extra-wacked out or super-wacked out. Same, same.
