If true this quote is very sad .............. He and others testified to the atrocities on Monday in Washington before U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan. The testimony nearly was thwarted in an attempt by the U.S. Justice Department to preserve a newly formed alliance with Iran following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The judge allowed the testimony, but he said he will have to consider the Justice Department's plea. Scott said the Justice Department is trying to protect Iran using a 20-year-old accord signed in Algiers. The accord, which led to the hostages' release, prohibits future claims against Iran. Scott said the accord is null and void following a 1996 anti-terrorism law that allows victims to sue nations that sponsor terrorism.
