We can't very well say, "Well, so what if they kept someone illegally for three weeks? The terrorists do worse!" Yes, they do do worse, but that doesn't make what Israel did in this case right, nor does it justify any of the illegal things the US has done in this "war on terror." (though how one wages war on terrorism, which is not a country, but a tactic, is beyond me) We're the US of A; we're supposed to be better than the people we're fighting. And if Israel's government wants to be able to claim the moral high ground, then they'd better be walking on it.

If we really think our system of democracy is valuable and worth exporting, then we need to prove it through our actions. Holding people illegally does not help our argument.

Your a nice lady ... but with a big flaw ...

... you continue to accept at face value every nonsensical assertion made by hatemongering propagandists.

Ask yourself this ... what do you actually know about this case? What real, solid information ... from reliable sources ... do you have? You don't really know exactly what happened and/or why Israel did what they did ... do you?

Be a little more skeptical and perspicacious ... there are lots of not-nice folks out there trying to manipulate you ... and you're making it a bit too easy for them.

What do YOU actually know that hasnt been either :

a: made up in your delusional little brain

b: cut and pasted from some right wing internet article that you googled

You have been shown to have a propensity for both.

BB, in all fairness, yes, I should google before I respond. But, after Googling, I find the facts I've found on every single news article written about the incident match with what was originally posted here. They arrested the wrong man, figured that out in two days, and then instead of releasing him, tossed him in jail. Here's an article from yahoo's website, prior to his release:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060803...n_060803184155

I stand by my earlier post.
