Ledeen And The Mullahs
ByA reader asks a good question:
You missed the key implication in Ledeen's post. He is saying -- about
as close to explicitly as possible -- that Reagan gave Iran something
in exchange for the release of the American hostages in 1980. Yes, his
specific example is from Iran/Contra. But he insists there were no
exceptions; Iran never gave up hostages without getting something in
return. This is in obvious contrast to the mythology that the right
has built up that Iran was afraid of Reagan; it is not inconsistent
with speculation of an October Surprise that has been part of
conspiracy theories on the left.
Tell us, Mr. Ledeen, what was that something that Reagan gave Iran in 1979/80?
