Jason Rezaian on Hostages: A Good Way to Test if Iran Is Ready to Negotiate in Good Faith, Is Letting Those People Out Right Now

RUSH EXCERPT:
REZAIAN: "Yeah, I think it should be part of any deal. Anytime we‘re doing business with an adversarial government or a friendly government, there‘s a journalist, an American journalist being held in Kuwait right now. You know, we have a lot of leverage, even more leverage in that situation. So yes, I do think that that should be first and foremost. It‘s constantly thrown around as no greater priority. The safety and security of American citizens. And I think it would be in the negotiations with the Iranians, a very good way to test whether they are prepared to to negotiate. It would be a good faith offering to let those people out right now."
