The Stakes

Quote of the Day:
After all, Iran is only doing to Western soldiers in captivity what the U.S. has been doing to "enemy combatants" since the war began. Then there's a question of what kind of trial they might face. One in which their defense gets a chance to see all the evidence against them? Oh, wait ... we don't do that either.
-Andrew Sullivan, commenting on an Evening Standard news piece that claims the British soldiers arrested by Iran last week are being "interrogated."

There's a real chess game going on here. Do you really think George W. Bush has the strategic know-how for a high-stakes game with Iran?

Yeah...neither do I.
