#1 ...Oh, well - if you can't trust an Iranian secret agent, who can you trust?

#2 I saw a series of 4 photos: 2 of the hostage taker, 1 of Ahmadinejad circa 1980, and 1 recent Ahmadinejad photo. I don't think the hostage taker was Ahmadinejad. His hairline was straight, while Ahmadinejad's hairline dipped down in front and had a slight widow's peak.

That said, I believe that Ahmadinejad murdered many Iranian dissidents/opponents when he was an executioner in Evin prison, and directed aasassinations outside Iran. Treat him as a mass murderer in a position of power. I won't mourn for him if he were to die in a massive explosion.

#3 The White House said it was taking their statements seriously. President Bush said "many questions" were raised by the allegations.

Whether the guy was involved in '79 or not, our leaders need to keep their eyes on the ball - regime change in Iran. There will be plenty of time afterward to deal with any hostage takers that are still alive.

#4 My question is, does it make a bit of difference?
