WASHINGTON - At least four Americans held hostage in the 1979
takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran said on Thursday
they recognized Iran's president-elect as one of the
ringleaders from the crisis, a claim denied in Tehran.

I remember that being an issue when he got elected, but wasn't it disproven?

I know the CIA dismissed it, although I guess some of the hostages still say it was him.

Either way, he was a big proponent of the '79 embassy kidnappings. THese are the kind of methods he supports. The revolutionary guard showed up armed to the teeth in no time. THe whole thing was premeditated, which seems clear to anyone but Geggy and Rosie.
