Saberi and Strategy

Over at Commentary Magazine's Contentions Blog, Jennifer Rubin writes:

To repeat, Saberi is an American citizen. While “engaging” Iran and glad-handing Hugo Chavez the president would do well to keep in mind Saberi and non-Americans in similar situations whose courage demands our respect and support.

I'm not really sure what Hugo Chavez has to do with the troubling imprisonment of Roxana Saberi, nor do I fully understand Ms. Rubin's conclusion. The administration has repeatedly called for Saberi's release, and the Swiss have served as our intermediary on the matter.

What more should be done? Would it be good policy for the United States to completely alter a regional strategy over one political prisoner? Our allies the Israelis certainly don't believe so, as they made sure to publicly protest the Swiss-Iranian meeting regarding Saberi. They acted consistently with their own Iran policy, as should we.
