[F14 Pilot]

The new Prime Minister of Iran IS the former leader of the hostage-takers.

Your source should know that Iran does not have Premier. They have supreme leader and a president

And that guy was not among the hostage takers, State Dept just confirmed

The new President of Iran is bad news for the mullahs. Had they continued to have someone with a reasonable demeanor, it would have split the west between the communists (progresives) and the sane ones. Now, the communists of Europe don't have any leg to stand on if they want to support a weak demeanor toward Iran.

If you believe anything the state Dept says you are in Doo Doo land.

The state dept is filled with rotting dead wood!

"And that guy was not among the hostage takers, State Dept just confirmed.."

Don't you know that you can't trust diddly that comes out of the State Dept.? Condi is trying to clean it up but it's still stacked with committed socialists and commies appointed by Cahtah and Klintoon.

I am not meaning to disparage you in any way but if you were or are an f14 pilot then you are surely aware that the U.S. gubmt. and especially the U.S. State Dept has upon occation lied.
I personally wouldn't trust many if not most U.S. gubmt agencies any more then say Iranian gubmnt agencies.

I have asked folks from around the world about politicians from their countries and to a one everyone says their gubmnt lies and politicians are liers.
