      Good Lord! Anyone paying ATTN knew it was Iran's money to begin with. It was withheld due to the sanctions. Just stop sheeple!

        Sorry, but Obama admin also told us Bergdahl was a hero. They've lost all credibility. No one believes them.

        That Obama admin can't tell the truth on these matters. That they aren't believable. That it in fact was ransom.

        So? Simply states what the money was ostensibly related to. Timing of payment suggests it was in fact ransom.
