Former Hostage Views UN Pick
(Business Week) Kambiz Foroohar and David Lerman - Michael Metrinko, a former diplomat and hostage at the U.S. embassy in Tehran who endured beatings and interrogations during his 444 days of captivity, said it was "really stupid" and ironic for Iran to pick someone associated with taking diplomats hostage to become its top diplomat at the UN. "The Iranian government officials have never understood that they did anything wrong," Metrinko said of the hostage crisis. "It was the most egregious violation of diplomatic norms and protocols."
