What
a difference it makes when the media does what it is supposed to in our
constitutional republic! A free press is supposed to hold officials
accountable. Tragically, that mostly
hasn’t happened during the Obama years.
In
recent days, however, the Wall Street
Journal revealed that the Obama administration paid a $400 million ransom
to the jihadist Iranian government for several American hostages. President
Obama and his flacks insisted no such thing had happened.
Well,
yesterday, the Journal published the
details of the carefully synchronized transaction that resulted in the release
of the Americans as pallets of cash were turned over to the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps – the mullahs’ terrorism arm.
The
State Department’s spokesman finally confirmed the obvious: Team Obama did pay ransom.
It’s
bad enough that we have been repeatedly lied to. Worse yet, we are all now
potential hostages.
