Okay, I guess. But it has been fairly well established that these guys weren't all that concerned about following the rules, so the "it would have been illegal, so they wouldn't do it" excuse doesn't cut it.
Anyway, assuming you are right and it would have been illegal for them to meddle in the hostage crisis, do you think that would have stoppped them?
