Some torture is more forgivable than others, I guess.

At issue is Barack Obama’s request to toss out the Embassy Hostage class action law suit filed by American Diplomats against Iran. The diplomats were held as captives for over a year during the administration of another weak Democratic President, Jimmy Carter.

The lawsuit says the hostages were tortured, beaten sometimes until they lost consciousness and kept in fear of their lives, at times even lined up in front of marksmen locking their guns. It says they were imprisoned without adequate food, clothing or medical care, blindfolded with their hands tied, interrogated for hours at a time and kept in isolation for months at a time.

The law suit claims one of those hostage takers was the current Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
