Why has it been hard for the U.S. to prove if Ahmadinejad was one of Embassy terrorist?

Question

I wonder, being this country so powerful, with so much money, and probably one of the best intelligence agencies in the world, they have not been able to prove if Ahmadinejad was the leader of the students who took the Americans hostages in late 1979?

Answer 1

THAT SHORT & UGLY MAN IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN TERRORISTS.

Answer 2

And just how would the U.S. prove it?

The hostages swear he was -- that's really the best proof possible.

Answer 3

I'm not sure that the US intelligence is the best in the world. Probably the more resourceful. Anyway, all intelligence services are ran by governments so maybe, as incompetent as it is, it's still the best one.

Besides that, you THINK that Ahmadinejad was one of the terrorists. You don't KNOW that. If you do, you should have evidence or you're delusional.

Maybe the reason is that there's no such evidence. I've seen the pictures and it's a completely different person.

Answer 4

why is it hard 4 u to believe that all humans in tyhis world are equal and no nation as a whole is trying to propogate terrorism in the world. And that Iranians are one of the most ancient and civilized nations of the world. How do u expect their head to b a terrorist? Bush is more likely a candidate for this title!

Answer 5

Well the people who were there for those 444 days swear he was so I guess I'd believe them.

Answer 6

You overestimate the competency of a failing system.

Answer 7

They probably don't see the benefit in telling anyone
