Even Ronaldus Magnus negotiated with terrorists. He traded American HAWK and TOW missiles to Iran in exchange for the release of US hostages. Remember “Iran-Contra?”

I do. I just remember it as covert dealings to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Not to release hostages. Of course, my memories are fading and subject to convenient reminiscing in my old age. :-)
