That's no tin-hatted, but documented facts.
That reagan's camp and the Republicans negoitiated adeal with Teheran not to release the hostages before Reagan got elected, is long since known now. Must not be commented.

Please cite credible sources on that. I can't find a single thing during a quick Google search to back that up.
Edit: Upon further review, I can only find "tin-hatted" sources making this claim. Pretty much every reputable source I can find seems to attribute the release to the same thing I've always believe - a stick it to Carter/fear of Reagan ideal.
Another Edit: Here's the Wiki of the so-called October Surprise Conspiracy.

Not surprising I missed it - I tend to dismiss such theories out of hand - rightly so. It seems as though every credible source out there dismisses this as a tin-hatted theory.
