Yes, Reagans guys were responsible for it happening, and no it didnt happen in 12 hours. I think that's obvious, yet here we have a poster claiming that it was all Carters doings that led to their release....that simply did not happen.
Reagan's guys were negotiating before Reagan was sworn in and had a chance to appoint his cabinet? Care to point out how that happened? Reagan would have no legal say in ANYTHING until his inauguration. Heck, he was not even CONFIRMED president until the electoral college did their job in December, so it would be next to impossible for what you suggest to take place.

Seems you've done a pretty good job at it so far, and I doubt you even worked up a sweat.
