#5 I wouldn't hold them for long. Just long enough to get their confessions (freely given or otherwise). Then return the corpses to Iran.

#6 I wonder if we intend to provoke the Iraniacs until they do something overtly stupid.

#7 Mark my words, the 'tit for tat' is coming. As we speak, the Iranians are trying to find or 'appropriately' apprehend western or American contractors, journalists, or statesmen for the eventual 'swap'! The ante will be upped!

#8 Go ahead and release 'em.

In boxes.

COD.

#9 Keep Teheran on the defensive. Release info as appropriate to show their true intentions. Grab some more "diplos" as appropriate. Start putting the heat on Iran. We are several years late in this endeavor, so we better get crackin'. Best defense is a good offense. And do the actions without a bunch of verbage. Let the MMs and dinnerjacket seethe and rave if they wish.

#10 I say baptize them as Christians. Salvation should be an effective punishment.

#13 Release them after placing the Halliburton NuTJoB-12 GPS/NeoCon® Industries microphone/ZiON Corp. iNFIDEL? mind-controlling microprocessor/transmitter are placed in their bodies.

Maybe consider the ZiON Corp. AutoPork bacon-injector option too.

#14 Grrr. The iNFIDEL

#15 I think a simple "No" and then hang up would do just fine. No long explanations, no apologies or rationalizations. Just "No."

#16 USN,ret.

I like that!I second that motion!

I'm watching Bushs interview right now. He said he doesn't worry about his legacy. Worry about it or not, his legacy started Wednesday and Iran is part of it.
