Richard's $.02
IIRC, although HRP did not lead the rescue, he did authorize the mission and did personally go to Iran to visit his employees while the rescue execution unfolded. I did not think much of him as a Presidential candidate, but I think he exhibited courage in risking his personal safety and his corporate future.
