Hostage to the hostages

Michael Ledeen writes that secret talks between America and Iran have been going on for years. He reveals that he was involved in them in 1985, when President Reagan was concerned about the well-being of CIA station chief William Buckley, who was held hostage in Iran, and eventually died in torture there. Reagan, Ledeen writes, became hostage to the hostages, and Ledeen wonders if Obama has, too.
