"I still can't figure out why they put an armored guy with no Afghan experience in charge," one said. A second senior official said, "Dave McKiernan is clearly part of the Army's old guard - he led troops in [1991's] Desert Storm...
...Saberi's release on Monday, the U.S. State Department said hers was a humanitarian issue rather than a diplomatic one, and that there was no deal linking it with the detained Iranians.
