Obama wants to rob the Iranian Christians of a martyr who might do more for the advancement of The Faith than if he was released. Seriously. Think of Richard Wurmbrand. Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Oh, heck -- Saul of Tarsus.
You’re right. Obama is so manipulative and commies do believe the ends justify the means. I truly believe obama is a sociopath; he could give a hoot about any innocent person in prison. It’s the guilty evil person in prison he cares about. They’re kindred spirits.
