The President said "we leave no one behind!" however Amir Hekmati, an American-born former Marine, has been held prisoner in Iran for three-and-a-half years. Former Marine and talk show host Montel Williams joins Hardball to tell us why he is advocating for Hekmati's release. Watch the video below:

We might be a lot further along in arrangements for his release if 47 Senators weren't busy pissing on everything the State Department was doing...

I wonder if this is going to be used in the nuclear negotiations? Pretty good chip to play if I was Iran, especially seeing that we are open to trading more for less, like Bergdahl. There is a lot of pressure to get a deal done, wouldn't really surprise me to see the administration bend to Iran's will.

Like the Bergdahl situation, I personally believe he needs to be recovered. He is an American, a former Marine, and there is possible intelligence to be gathered.
