TEHRAN – Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday proposed a swap of Iranians in U.S. prisons for three American hikers being held in Tehran.
Ahmadinejad said in interview with state TV that there were ongoing negotiations about exchanging the hikers for several Iranians jailed for years in the United States.
"There are some talks under way to have an exchange, if it is possible," he said. "Recently they (the U.S.) have sent messages, we answered to bring them (the Iranians), to bring these people (the hikers). We are hopeful that all prisoners will be released."

OK, hold the phone, the Iranians are holding Americans hostage and even AP can no longer bury the story,
In an afternoon briefing Barack Obamah says “After conferring with Jimmy Carter, I’ve decided against a rescue mission at this time!”
Ahmadinejad did not mention any specifics but in December Iran released a list of 11 Iranians it says are being held in the U.S. — including a nuclear scientist who disappeared in Saudi Arabia and a former Defense Ministry official who vanished in Turkey. The list also includes an Iranian arrested in Canada on charges of trying to obtain nuclear technology.
“I had said I would help in releasing them, but the attitude of some of U.S. officials damages the job,” said Ahmadinejad. “There are a large number of Iranians in prison in the U.S. They have abducted some of our citizens in other countries.”

Obama continues to “reach out” to Iran...
interesting that these “ongoing negociations” and “talks underway” are not reported by the white house press corps.
Before this son of a whore and his commie red comrades in Congress are done we'll all be praying to Mecca.
Keep the hikers and call us so other time.
