THIS picture shows it.

It's not the guy right holding the hostages arm. It's the guy to the far right.

Iran Focus

London, Jun. 29 - Iran Focus has learnt that the photograph of Iran’s newly-elected president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, holding the arm of a blindfolded American hostage on the premises of the United States embassy in Tehran was taken by an Associated Press photographer in November 1979.

It's definitely not the guy holding the hostage's arm. But you're right, it may well be the other one, further to the viewer's right, who appears in another picture (shown on another thread) to have a very similar profile.

Question: was the one of the viewer's far right actually one of the hostage takers? Or was he a negotiator of some sort? We've got to make sure we've got our facts straight

Wow, I think that you are right. The guy holding the arm of our guy is probably a straight nosed cousin.
