In the article The CIA/Likud Sinking of Jimmy Carter, author Robert Parry describes his theory of how the Republicans and their allies in the CIA conspired to prevent the Iranian hostages from being freed during the Carter administration.

It seemed fairly likely at the time that the Reagan campaign had conspired to defeat Carter’s negotiations with the Iranians for the release of the hostages.  This article just supplies all the details to make that supposition even more plausible.

If I had a “believe it, or not” category on this blog, I would put this story into it.
