Terrible intelligence. I knew some of the Americans there following the Shah and reporting to the US.

Carter leaned on the Shah to allow Khomeini back into the country. Carter is on record as describing Khomeini as a "saintly man". Being that easy to hoodwink says a lot about Carter, he was a nice man, but a horrible president and from my understanding a disaster as a navy Captain.
