#1 Is it really a good thing for the US to capture Iran's enemies on its behalf?

I'd definitely rather such a trade not be made. Once you decide that a government can't offer fair trials, you don't hand over *anyone* over to it. Especially not ones politically opposed to the regime.

#2 The Iranians are smarter than the Arabs. They have something to strive for: nukes soon. The Mullaz are throwing us bones here and there until the first test detonation. The stakes are higher than they look here as some have pointed out. The scary part is that most Persians, including those who hate the theocracy, believe their nation to be worthy of nuke status. We're basically a race to get a rational government in Iran before it nukes up. Events like this buy bits of time for the wackos now in power.
