Oh, more about the kidnap victim. Israel should pay a ransom to get him back. Maybe, release all of the Palestinians held captive by Israel. That should work. Israelis believe one Israeli is worth thousands of Palestinians. So, sounds like a fair trade. Make it happen.

To be fair, he isn't a kidnap victim. Soldiers cannot be kidnapped victims -- when they are captured during wars they become prisoners. But otherwise, I do agree with the sentiment you raise and the criticism you couch in it.

arle,

I am being sarcastic. I keep making that point in my comments.

I remember shortly after the US Invasion of Iraq and susequent opening of Gitmo, Powell assured the world that the Inmates were being treated well.
What a joke!

I doubt that CACI is running Hamas' detention facilities so I wouldn't worry along those lines.

[GZLives]

Odds are even that Schalit was tortured to death.

[amdezurik]

he was being held in Gitmo?

[MisterHands]

Oh well, these things happen-- our troops photographed their festivities.

[arle]

Just a few bad apples, I'm sure. Right?

[HekmabaJuzimax]

No, he's alive and in good condition. Hamas only wants people to THINK he's been tortured and/or in bad shape, so Israel will negotiate his release.

If Shalit had been killed, Hamas could not keep that a secret for long, and they would be finished. So they wont kill him.

Think on this.

It's time for the world to get together an end the existence of the Hamas terrorists once and for all.

Eliminate Hamas and other Palestinian freedom fighters will simply rise to take its place. So long as Israel continues its illegal, unjust and oppressive ways, there will of course always be legitimate resistance to those acts.
