Come on Tranny, you must be able to understand that Iranians were obviously holding out for Carter to leave office before releasing the hostages. You said it yourself, 444 days of captivity (and negotiation) and no release, but 12 hours after the inauguration they get magically released. Reagan is either the greatest negotiator in the history of mankind, or the Iranians got what they wanted during negotiations and were just trying to further embarass Carter. The later is the only thing that makes sense, no?
