Temo: Re: Am I disappointed with Obama? No, because I knew from the beginning that the US can NEVER close Guantanamo.

Tuesday:

> I believe the hostage releases were planned for a certain time to make Carter look bad. That was my impression at the time.

It has been charged many times that Ronald Reagan was dealing with Iran behind the scenes prior to the election so as to delay the release of the hoistages and make sure that Jimmy Carter would lose. The hostages were released 20 minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn into office. During the election Ronald Reagan said that the USA should not pay ransom for people that had been kidnapped by "barbarians". However, one of his first acts in office was to unfreeze 7 billion dollars that had been frozen in American banks. All in all, there is no proof of any conspiracy, but the claim has been there for a long time.
