FOX reports that the 1979 U.S. hostages in Iran believe the country’s new president was one of their captors.

Iranian expatriot Hossein Derakhshan, the godfather of the Iranian blogosphere (an all-around cool guy I met at blogNashville), is no Ahmadinejad fan but doesn’t believe it.

Hossein’s must read essay on his return to Iran for it’s “sham election” (not his term) was published in the LA Times, and is also available on his website here. It’s a good read.
