Modanlou, a naturalized U.S. citizen living in Maryland, was convicted in 2013 of conspiracy to provide illegal satellite services to Iran, laundering money and obstruction of bankruptcy proceedings. The scheme involved as much as $10 million dollars being transferred to Iran, for which Modanlou received 70 years in prison.

Mechanic, Faridi and Afqahi were charged in 2015 for their involvement in an Iranian spy ring tasked with illegally procuring sensitive technology which supported Iran’s nuclear program. The two men and their accomplices allegedly sent over $24 million worth of sensitive technology to Iran over five years.

Gahreman, a U.S.-Iranian dual citizen, was charged in August 2015 for attempting to provide Iran with illegal navigation equipment and radar technology for military defense systems. He was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for his crime.

Golestaneh, an Iranian student, was charged in July 2015 with hacking into the computer networks of a Vermont-based aerodynamics company, attempting to steal software worth millions of dollars.

Ali Sabounchi, a U.S. citizen, was indicted in 2013 for attempting to illegally provide Iran with U.S.-made industrial products, some of which are used for military purposes. The goods in question were worth several millions of dollars

Are you surprised? It's how this administration operates? Can we sue our government for incompetence, and impeach the president for continuing to endanger the American people.

I would personally prefer convicted of treason. It's designated a terror State, we're providing them with billions, when they've already broken a couple of items on the agreement and we're returning bonafide spies that supported terrorism.

They are spies that have already been burned.

And did damage to the tune of tens of millions in stolen sensitive information/material that progressed Iran's nuclear program. Again.. a terrorist State.

You'd trade them if it was your friend or family member held in Iran... without batting an eye.

Well obviously the bad guys aren't going give Obama what he wants without getting something good in return. Sounds like you assume he should be smarter than they are.

No they aren't. Use your head man, think of this from their perspective. They will de-brief them, take lessons learned, help prep others, and so forth.

Yes. Yes I am. I'm shocked we got back more than one person. The administration has improved.

We traded them the bomb for five people.

How's that an improvement?

So you're saying Valerie Jarrett is able to attend a family reunion where the whole family is able to attend.

I count a trade of 7 for 3. Seems like another great deal, almost as good as the Bergdahl trade.

Every day of Obama is a loss for the US.

ETA: that wasn't fair. Every day of the Republican establishment is also a loss for the US.

Let's face it ... Obama is Iran's bitch.

That he is a muslim is not longer in question ... but it's now pretty much be determined that he is Shi'a and a wanna be Persian.
