Former Iranian Hostages React To Obama's Deal With Iran


From WTOP:
McLEAN, Va. (AP) -- A nuclear deal between the U.S., Iran and other world powers has been described as a trust-building step after decades of animosity that hopefully will lead to a more comprehensive deal down the road.

But for many of the 66 Americans who were held hostage for 444 days at the start of the Iranian revolution, trusting the regime in Tehran feels like a mistake.

"It's kind of like Jimmy Carter all over again," said Clair Cortland Barnes, now retired and living in Leland, N.C., after a career at the CIA and elsewhere....


[...]

Retired Air Force Col. Thomas E. Schaefer, 83, called the deal "foolishness."

"My personal view is, I never found an Iranian leader I can trust," he said. "I don't think today it's any different from when I was there. None of them, I think, can be trusted. Why make an agreement with people you can't trust?"


Schaefer was a military attache in Iran who was among those held hostage....
Some of the former hostages disagree and see Obama's deal with Iran as a positive first step.

No political-party affiliation is mentioned in the article.

Hey WTOP, learn your history. Carter was responsible for bringing the hostages home without launching an invasion. Which is what Romney or McCain would be doing right now (launching an invasion of Iran). Stop drinking the Neocon revisionist history Kool Aid.

Jimmy Carter brought all of the hostages home. No loss of life. It cost him the presidency, but he and I both figure it was worth it.
