11. Oh, did I write something you didn't actually say

based upon the words you actually wrote. Funny how that works.

Let me be as clear as possible. My original post was a stated suggestion for a positive outcome. A statement by you, of Iran's past behavior and reputation was made just to be contrarian, which you are free to do.

But when somebody misstates what I wrote to try and prove their point, I'm going to correct it.

It was a suggested possibilty of a good outcome if it were to be considered. I don't sincerely believe Iran is reading my suggestion but if they had it might make one consider that it might be a good idea.

One, it would show Iran in a different light, exercising mercy at the same time getting information to the world of the atrocities committed by this Administration.
Two, it would be a slap in the face of those in America that are trying to stifle our press. Ironically, as you stated, by a Country that doesn't allow free press, or much of any freedoms.
Which is the direction our Country is headed. Which was a point of the post in addition to hoping for her safety.
