Or perhaps the capture of LV by EPN was simply a ruse. Any of these outcomes are entirely plausible.

Ignorant? Really? LV splintered from EPN with many members of EPN still being sympathetic toward them and their cause, they were taken captive by EPN when only their leader was at risk and they subsequently escaped rather quickly and apparently easily from EPN. I'm sorry, but that qualifies as being rather suspect. Who knows how high their support in EPN goes.
So ignorance on my part? I would say I was considering very possible situations and despite eval's suggestion a gesture does not necessarily show underlying intentions.
However despite all this, I really do hope to be proven wrong, I hope that the reality is that EPN offered LV a way out which they blatently ignored and if so I will put up my hands and admit to being so when the LV situation has been laid to rest and I see appropriate evidence to that effect.
Petty squabbles resolve nothing. Isn't it more important to reacquire your captives than to debate over who is or is not qualified to call you on this blunder? The fact of the matter remains...they escaped. Deal with it. Next time they're caught, they might not have such merciful captors.
EPN did what they had to do in this situation and they captured a dangers man who could have destroyed the Matrix. The Machines and Cypherites really should be thankful to the EPN's instead.
And I recall something about Veil having people on the inside, who helped break her out....so...pardon my sarcasm when I go "OH NO! SOMEONE ESCAPED! THIS NEVER HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!"
In any normal societal justice system the average citizen or outsider would at least be aware through some type of publicity that a justice system EXISTS.
