Guantanamo, UBS, and Diplomacy

Am I the only conspiracy theorist out here who sees the possibility of a diplomatic tit-for-tat? The Swiss government does the United States a favor by taking in two Guantanamo Uighars.

What could the IRS U.S. government do in return that would reward the Swiss for lancing Obama’s diplomatic boil? Hmmm. I can’t name names, but its initials are UBS.

The whole scene seems ripe with opportunities for plausible diplomatic deniability.
