"Do you still want to start a war over this incident?"

Mindmeld has made it clear he doesn't want to start a war. But he thinks the Iranians are playing into Dubya's hands. Who does.

I think he has a point.

However, this release is a big step towards averting a war. It gives the Iranians a small victory. Which is what they want.

Here is an excellent run down on the situation.

Well, before you call him innocent, consider that this "diplomat" was captured in Iraq in a pile of documents implicating him in supporting the insurgency. Those Iranian diplomats are of course under diplomatic cover, but they are really Revolutionary Guards. I'm surprised that the US freed him. However, I'm sure it was as a swap gesture for the British soldiers.
