So you laying out the entire process for wire transferring money was just ancillary.
I don't know if we should pay ransom or not pay ransom when someone is being held against their will. If it was my husband or my son in that situation, I may feel differently. I do know that this money was technically owed to Iran, and I do know that the money that they were owed was not handed over to them until those prisoners were released. To me, ransom is paid out of my money. It isn't paying you your own money for releasing my captive.
I was responding to a particular post.
The claim has been made that this back door method was the only way possible to make the transfer.
