Other pictures posted showed a man with a blazer who most of us thought was this man, but my Iranian friends all insisted I had ther wrong guy.

Clearer pics of that same man in the blazer, with his head at a different angle show I was wrong.

In the photo above, the media misidentified the man, the one in the red circle, and most of us thought it was the man on the far right instead, but newer pics show that is not him.

This clearer pic of the two original men identified show NEITHER match the new president in facial features. The man in the blazer right behind Barry Rosen clearly is not the new president, and neither is the man in the khakis right in front.

So, is it the man carrying the valise?

Umm, Bush's Fault?

FWIW, I thought it was valise guy.

Maybe the hostage-taker was Robert B. Reich!

Convincing argument. Wait! In't that John Kerry in the back between the hostage and captor and scratching his head??

These are only a FEW pictures of possible perps.

CBS, ABC, NBC & even the BBC should have archived film of just about anyone who was near the hostages when they were paraded before their camera's.

If he was one of these bastards... it will turn up.

Maybe he had a nose job to make himself look different. Other than that he looks the same, in most ways. Maybe he had on higher heels then. Boots of some kind.
