“We first have to see what has happened in these two years and then

American officials say he gave “significant, original” information about his country’s nuclear program but then turned his back on a C.I.A.-provided resettlement package of around $5 million, David E. Sanger and Mark Mazzetti report.

Thank you for the interesting article.......so now IRI doubts its own lie that Amiri was kidnapped......I think it is pretty hard for him to come clean!!!!

Here is the excerpt from a CNN article:

The second official indicated Amiri will have to continue perpetuating the lie.

"His safety depends on him sticking to the fairy tale about pressure and torture. His challenge is to try to convince the Iranian security forces that he never cooperated with the United States. It's a tall order," the official said.
