Photo of the Day Hostages Former Iran hostage Bruce Laingen is seen in his office in Washington Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001. Laingen is currently president of The American Academy of Diplomacy. Amid the pomp of Saturday's inauguration of President-elect Bush, Bruce Laingen can be excused for thinking about another inauguration, 20 years ago. It was on the very day that Ronald Reagan was sworn in that Laingen was freed with 51 other Americans who had been held hostage for 444 days at the U.S. Embassy in Iran.
