From GLOBALSECURITY....
A younger Ahmadinejad from a photo from Global security is in the photo above.
Ahmadinejad is the dude on the right with the dark turtle neck, not the guy in the red circle.

More heat coming!
But also read nuconvert's #15.
What do you think of this?
I think six Americans held hostage 400+ days had time to sear this guy's face into their memories. If they say he was one of the torture interrogators, it's good enough for me.
The Jewish concentration inmates recalled camp guards and others at the camps who tortured them 50+ years ago. In Bosnia and Serbia, the war criminals were ID'd some years later and we believed them. Russian gulag inmates recall the bad guys. Why the reluctance to believe Americans who were hostages?
Good point. Thanks.
Never said that. I only said the photo evidence is weak, at best.

Iran's new president declares worldwide 'Islamic revolution'

Iran's president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportions.
Mahmood Ahmadinejad said his election coincided with what he termed a new Islamic revolution.
"The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world," Ahmadinejad said. "In one night, the martyrs strode down a path of 100 years." Ahmadinejad, who did not elaborate, was speaking to the families of those killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, Middle East Newsline reported.
The Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, responsible for the nation's missile and nuclear weapons programs, and has been identified as a suspect in the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979, was regarded as the most anti-Western of the presidential candidates.
The last paragraph above confirms that Ahmadinejad did participate in the takeover of Our Embassy.
Hostage-Takers: Iran Leader Had No Role ~~ Anyone believe this new spin?
****************************************
he opposed the takeover - preferring instead to target the Soviet Embassy,
*******************************************************
The former students who carried out the seizure and held the Americans for 444 days said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had no role in taking the embassy or guarding the hostages.
Notice the very careful parsing......Clintonian.......
The Hostages said they didn't see him often...so he wasn't Guarding them
