Obama Administration Wants Judge to Toss Iran Embassy Hostage Suit

The Obama administration has asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit against Iran filed by Americans held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran 30 years ago.

The request comes in a $6.6 billion class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. Fifty-two American diplomats and military officials were held captive for more than a year at the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency by a group of Islamist students who supported the Iranian revolution.

Yeah, that's it zer0, keep kissing Imadinnerjackets ass.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

This is treason....plain and simple.

If the suit is against Iran...Obama has no standing

[cvq3842]

I can’t believe I’m reading this.

Actually, yes I can.

[P-Marlowe]

How does the Obama administration have jurisdiction to intervene in this lawsuit?

0bama really must hate us. Down to his core. Not that he has a soul anymore.

Jesus, save us from this person.

As the other networks try to bury it like a cat in a litter box.

I'm waiting for him to unfreeze all of Iran's assets at 4:55pm on a Friday afternoon, just in time for them to wire it out of the country before the weekend but after the hypnonews has been selected for Friday's broadcasts.

Out-cartering Carter. Amazing.

The lawsuit says the hostages were tortured, beaten sometimes until they lost consciousness and kept in fear of their lives, at times even lined up in front of marksmen locking their guns.

But that's not torture. Pushing a terrorist against the wall... THAT's torture.

Or maybe Obama believes that ONLY WHITE AMERICANS can torture people.

[Carley]

Not only does he hate us but he is hoping for a terror attack on our beloved country so he and his cohorts can blame Bush/Cheney.

[ScottinVA]

Every f***ing day, something new with zer0, usually something to do with placating mohammedans.

[livius]

But...I thought that’s how we were supposed to handle everything now, in the courts. Or did Bambi forget this part of the Bambi Doctrine because it involves one of his favorite Muslim dictators?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

WTF!!!!!

it’s unbelievable that we could have a POTUS such as Obama. He has to go along with all of Congress. Our government both local and federal are so corrupt now along with the corporations. It’s time to turn this around. Our elected officials are now protecting it’s people. Instead they are going for power and the big buck. They are using the legal system for illegal purposes. It’s time to gut them. Get them out. We didn’t elect this POS to enrich themselves or to drive us down the road to serfdom.

Better check on those numbers of military officials and diplomats...I seem to recall one individual, last name "Belk", who supposedly was a civilian businessmsn involved in some shady deals, possibly drug dealing or some such thing. Definitely not a diplomat or a military member, let alone a military official. When it comes down to fine details, I seem to notice that FOX is getting a little sloppy lately...

[Major Matt Mason]

Can we please get some adults in charge? The children are playing in the litterbox again.

[rvoitier]

That was my first concern
