Speaking of Ramsey Clark, I was just watching a TV movie based on Ken Follett's
On Wings of Eagles, a nonfiction account of Ross Perot's 1979 mission to free his employees from Iran just before the Iranian Revolution, and there's a scene where Perot bumps into none other than Ramsey Clark in Tehran. Background:
Calling himself the “unofficial courier” of the U.S. government, Clark met with Islamic revolutionary leaders in Tehran in December 1978; he then traveled to Paris to visit Ayatollah Khomeini the following month. When he returned to the United States, Clark held a press conference where he warned against American interference in Iran. That November, the foot soldiers of Khomeini’s revolution took 52 Americans hostages and proceeded to hold them captive in Iran for 444 days. In 1980, while the hostages were still bring detained, Clark—aided by the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, the Soviet front group which he helped lead—went to Tehran to publicly denounce the U.S. at a “Crimes of America” conference organized by Khomeini’s government."
Ramsey Clark. Clark later went on to oppose American opposition to Iran's nuclear program.
