No, I don't agree that paying a ransom to a state sponsor of terrorism is equivalent to "trust but verify". On the Reagan quotes that would be more akin to the Iran contras scandal managed by Bush (his VP).

But contracting out spy work to an ally to verify whether or not a country we are "trusting" is keeping to the treaty or not, that to me is "trust but verify".
