for
the christian science monitor
uses ayatollah khomeini
and ronald reagan had organized a clandestine negotiation
known as the october surprise
which prevented the attempts by myself and then u_s_ president jimmy carter
to free the hostages before the nineteen eighty u_s_ presidential election two cf
eight place
the fact that they were not released at the results of the election in favor of
reagan
this is this is the president
overran
he says i openly opposed the hostage taking throughout the key election
campaign telling students that occupy an embassy in the heart of tehran was a
sign of cowardice rather than courage
i won the election with over seventy percent of the vote in part on that
platform
other candidates were also openly against hostage taking overall ninety
six percent of the boats in that election
as the election in nineteen eighty in iran
while the hostages were being held ninety six percent of those in that
election were given to candidates who were against it
organs the hostages

some twenty minutes before the oath of office teletype alarm bells sound all
over the world
what's happening in this will mean a lot more disposed of journalists out there

the president of iran is now speaking out loud
to hold those hostages for those four and forty four days even though and
maybe six percent of people who wanted a white that way
which is why he's saying the movie argos highly inactive
cut a deal with the ayatollah tahoma hostages until reagan was released in
exchange for weapon and change came because they had a military that was
all-american
