Preview: FNC's Special Look Back at the Iran Hostage Crisis
Friday, November 6 at 10 p.m. ET
"On the Record" host Greta Van Susteren hosts "Fox News Reporting: Americans Held Hostage in Iran" on Fox News Channel. This hour-long exclusive Fox News documentary commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis.
On November 4, 1979, America had its first showdown with radical Islam when the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran was stormed by students hoping to stage a three-day sit-in. Initially, the Islamist students' intent was to protest America's decision to allow the exiled Shah of Iran to enter the United States for medical treatment. Instead, the ordeal became 444 days of hostage hell for 52 Americans.In this watershed moment in American history, Fox News talks to key players in the crisis and examines how President Jimmy Carter struggled to resolve the crisis in an election year. Among those interviewed include: Former Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher; Fox News contributor Bob Beckel, who was Deputy Assiatant to the President during the crisis; White House Chief of Staff James Baker. Several of the hostages, who were released as Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president in January 1981, also relive their frightening days in captivity.

Naive buffoons in the media are going to have a hand in the downfall of our country if it happens. I'm not even sure anymore about the opinion of anyone in the media about healthcare, when they are such buffoons about other topics.

Well maybe Iran is doing what they are doing because they have a lot of psychiatrists there and they are stressed out. You know like FOX is saying in the news on the Glenn Beck program, that maybe that Major at Fort Hood did what he did because he is stressed. Maybe, maybe all the terrorists attacking Israel are psychiatrists and we just don't know it. Hmmm?

I was in the 6th grade in '79. As I recall, a lot of wealthy Iranians ended up in the New York metro area. Next time the hit sits the fan I'll bet wealthy refugees end up in some other country.

An appropriate post on the eve of the Texas Ft. Hood Massacre. The religion of peace at work in your own military bases. The war is on. The battle of Armageddon. Your personal battle with reality. You'd better wake up and get a grip because you're next! Islam needs to be removed from this country along with the liberals who condone this. I'll give my life for my country!

IT WOULD BE NICE TO HELP ALL THE IRANIAN PEOPLE WHO WANT FREEDOM NOW...............IT IS BAD WHEN THE GOVERNMENT RUNS YOUR LIFE .....AND THE US JUST TURNS THEIR HEAD BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT LOVES DICATORS.............AND IMANS.......

I was right.
