There are a number of former members of the American diplomatic presence in Tehran from the 1970's that might disagree with you.

That was the story out of Iran for many years, that Canadian diplomats had gotten about 6 Americans out of Teheran. A recent TV show said it was never Canadians, it was a CIA operation. They just kept it secret all these years. There are many good people up there. I just wish they could throw out the left wingers, the way I wish we could throw them out here.

I'm not certain where you get your information but please allow me to bring you up to date. Our folks ran to the Canadian Embassy for refuge and the Canucks brought them all out, alive. One of my people was on the exfil and he gave me a full debrief of the operation. He's a gutsy guy but he said he figured they were going to fumble it during the very thorough Iranian exit procedures. That didn't happen and all made it out OK but the CIA was sitting on their collective butts in DC and had nothing to do with it. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
