Remember Sgt. Tahmooressi, the Marine who was holed up in a Mexican jail for months? Now we have a Marine veteran, Amir Hekmati, who has been holed up in the worst possible prison in Iran for three years accused of spying. Entertainer Montel Williams spearheaded a movement to get Tahmooressi released and he's working on the Hekmati case, but no one in the media is talking about it.
There we've been, sitting that the negotiating table and working on Iran's nuclear ambitions... a perfect opportunity for bringing the matter out in the open... and it's like the White House proclamation over Bergdahl that we don't leave our military behind was never mentioned.
Of course, now that we have a "deal," and now that the whole country has made it plain as English that we don't want any more terrorists being released from Gitmo as a trade, I guess Hekmati is going to have to suffer the consequences... alone, like that imprisoned doctor in Pakistan who told us where Bin Laden was hiding.
