Keep him in this time

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The suspected leader of a radical Islamist group linked to the 2002 Bali bombings has been arrested 15 months after he escaped from a high security prison in Singapore, the government said on Friday.

Mas Selamat Kastari was the alleged mastermind of a plot to hijack a plane and crash it into Singapore's Changi Airport.

Singapore authorities have also accused him of planning several truck bomb attacks across the island state.

Iran Policy

Jane “I was in Vietnam but I am still a coward” Kerry’s contradictory ramblings seem directed at further confusing the issue of what to do with Iran' terrorist activities, nuclear proliferation and continuing killings of Americans in Iraq and elsewhere:

The United States has stepped back from the notion of "regime change" in Iran…
…"Just as we abandon calls for regime change in Teheran and recognize a legitimate Iranian role in the region, Iran's leaders must moderate their behavior…
…Kerry praised the Obama administration's focus on diplomacy with Iran, adding that "engagement alone is not a strategy and talks are not an end in themselves."…

Interestingly, the Country Report on Terrorism, released at the end of April 2009, states, among various trends, this:

Iran "remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism".

Can anyone see where all this is going? I can’t…this is the only result I can see and of course the only alternative at this point would be this: Israel would inform, not ask U.S. before hitting Iran.
