Daru maintains his freedom to make his own decision, and Balducci honors Daru's choice. However, their understanding follows from their political affiliation; the Arab's freedom is a much thornier issue. Daru seems predisposed to grant the Arab freedom from the beginning, as illustrated when he unbinds the Arab's hands and gives him tea.
