        "Worth of cash." What's the going rate for cash these days? $1 per dollar? I guess we know the going rate for hostages.

        The same thing this country has always said...we don't negotiate with terrorists. You want a country that does, move to EU

        Obama needs to explain paying American tax money as ransom to a terrorist state. Political Correctness doesn't = Presidential Leader.☆

        2 questions. Why did Iran randomly? release the detained americans? If the settlement was legit why was the payment done covertly?
