US Citizens held captive - President FAILS to act. Call your congressmen.

[darin]

Reading through some of the 'breaking news' links to stories posted by our dear truthmatters, I found our media COVERING for the president by BURRING this story!



a mob of perhaps 3,000, some of whom were armed and who, after a short siege, took 63 American men and women hostage.

What about all the citizens of other nations that the U.S. is holding captive?

They shouldn't have entered the country illegally. If they want them back they are free to have them.

I am not talking about illegal aliens. I am talking about legal citizens of the U.S. and other countries who are being held under false pretenses.
It's like the Red Scare days -- finger someone as a "terrorist operative" and they suddenly disappear.

Could you link to some facts about this?

The link took me to a 1979 article. Is that what this is about or is it a bad link?

This can't be what you want people to see!

The aftermath

The Iran hostage crisis was a severe blow to U.S. morale and prestige, coming as it did in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. In addition to placing a roadblock in the path of U.S.-Iranian relations, it was also widely believed to have contributed to Carter's defeat by Reagan in the 1980 presidential election. Moreover, in the years following the crisis, allegations arose that the Reagan campaign had acted to hinder Carter's attempts to negotiate an earlier settlement—thus derailing a possible electoral coup for the Carter campaign—in an effort to ensure a Reagan victory. However, that contention has been largely dismissed.
