Puzzling LAT editorial

This morning the LAT argues its a shame Washington doesn't know why Iran released two Americans it had held on trumped-up charges. A better question is why they were held in the first place. The LAT argues we'd know more if we would talk to Iran, while simultaneously admitting that Iranian politics "remains a black box."

The LAT, like most liberals, is quick to blame the U.S. when a totalitarian state behaves in an inexplicable way.
