Syria-Lebanon-Iran
US Releases 100+ Iranian terrorists for 1 live Brit and 3 dead ones
2009-12-31
The British are all smiles over the release of Peter Moore, a British citizen who was held hostage by an Iranian-backed Shia terror group in Iraq. But there is little talk about the price paid to secure Moore's release. The US military has freed Qais Qazali, the leader of the Asaib al Haq, or League of the Righteous, as well as his brother Laith, several Qods Force officers, and more than 100 members of the terror group, in exchange for Moore. And that isn't all. The British also received the corpses of three security contractors who were working to protect Moore when he was kidnapped at the Finance Ministry in Baghdad in May 2007. The three contractors were executed by the Asaib al Haq; another is also thought to have been killed.

#4  Is it just me or does Iran seem to get the upper hand in everything over the past year or so?

Like they say in the Army, it's not about how much rank you have, it's about how much d--- you can swing. And Iran is swingin' it!
