Unconfirmed...

But if true...

Remind me about that now unfashionable old long standing U.S. policy of never negotiating with terrorist/hostage taking bad actors... What was that about again?

These three Americans are likely similar to the five other American hostages we failed to get released from next-door-neighbor Iran despite giving them $150B.
It is surprising the Iraqi kidnappers did not request MUCH more. What a bargain!

It's amazing how quickly they buckle when you turn the tables on them.

This was planned from the get go to facilitate the “exchange” of prisoners to Iran.
