[history]
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has blasted the United States for the arrest Thursday of an Iranian and called for his immediate release.
The U.S. military said the detainee is a member of an elite Iranian unit that has been accused of training and equipping insurgents in Iraq, but Talabani said he is a civil servant who was on an official trade mission in Iraq's Kurdistan region.

Is the Iraqi President acting in the best interest of the Iraqi people or Iran here?

Instead of releasing this individual, he should receive a "military tribunal trial" (think Nathan Hale and Major John Andre). Then, if found guilty of being an illegal combatant, he should be tied to a post and executed by firing squad.
That's how the Americans handled the werewolves in their sector of Germany, after WW II. Does anyone else remember seeing movie clips of American soldiers conducting such trials, and executions? I do.
Then, the US could return the body to Iran. It would not be necessary to pin a note to his chest suggesting that other Iranians ought to think twice before they sneak into Iraq in civvies, to fight outside the Geneva Conventions.

Probably just political posturing. When he thinks we are going to bug out any minute, he’s got to cover his butt.

I think Iran is holding two Americans against their will. If so, release them and we will release the bozo we have.

How do the Iraqi people feel about Iranians coming across their border teaching folks how to kill innocent Iraqis?

Dear Mr. Ahmadinejad,
I hope your will enjoy your stay in New York City. As way of welcoming you to our city, please find in your hotel room a complimentary assortment of Jimmy Dean Sausage products. Also waiting in your hotel room is one of your Quds Force officers that we detained in Iraq a few days ago. You will find him sitting in a chair near the desk with a small round hole between his eyes.
Have a nice day!

Found this number from Columbias public affairs office. It has a statement regarding Irans President Amadjihad. You can leave a message for the public affair folks at Columbia.

I left a message that says you should not give him a platform of credibility and if you want to hear what he has to say then go to Iran and listen to him.

I’m so sick and tired of Iran and Iraq, I would’t care if some enterprising nation irradiated both cesspools.

I guess it is not election year in Iraq.
Seems to me that it would be not be advisable to turn people lose who may be training others to kill your people.

I would say, âRelease him? We already did. You havn’t received him yet? What the heck did your people do with him? Yâall need to get your act together. Geesh.’
