Earlier, they released a French couple who had been held there for 3 1/2 yrs.
Waiting to hear if they release the Canadian couple and any Americans

I should clarify that Iran itself released the French couple. Kittleson was kidnapped in Iraq. I assume pressure by IRI has caused them to release her.

I wonder if she drove the guards so crazy that they showed her the door. Her cats, her gaudy jewelry...

True. Or maybe they just realized she is on their side, but...they don’t often extend that “professional courtesy” to Westerners, even if they are allies with them.

I wonder if the recent rescue of our downed weapons officer gave them food for thought?
