The AP is reporting Condoleeza Rice's opinion on the Iran hostage situation:
"In an interview with The Associated Press, the top U.S. diplomat said the detentions are unwarranted but will not stop the United States from trying to engage Iran on other matters, including its disputed nuclear program and alleged support of insurgents in Iraq....
"'The embassy situation, I think everybody recognizes, had a special character and it is at the root of why it is very difficult to see the path to normal relations with Iran,' Rice said."
What does that even mean? It's difficult to have "normal relations" with Iran because it is a terror-sponsoring regime, plain and simple. Can we count on anyone besides Joe Lieberman?

Atlas Shrugs asks: "Just whose side is [Condoleeza Rice] working for?"
Has it gotten to the point where that question becomes legitimate?
