I do agree with your analysis. The hostage taking mirrors the military actions - those guys know very well how to play the occupation forces, politically and psychologically.
It doesn't change the fact that I have a hard time ascribing much idealism to any political operative, secular or religious. Islam is the ideology available to Sadr. Forty years ago, he would've been using Arab nationalism for the same purposes.
