Hamas claims that the captive soldier Gilad Shalit is well treated. (It is actually part of the Islamic religion not to mis-treat prisoners - but their is a tenuous link between fanatics and true religion). So I suggest that Israel return the favor and treat Palestinian prisoners with the same respect, in other words, no trial, no contact with the outside world - no telephone, visits, radio, TV, etc. If they don't like it they know what they can do. The only way to beat terrorists/guerrillas/freedom fighters is to play by their own rules. Our UN-style rules of war are only good for fighting the Swiss. If you going o be nice and civil about warfare, whats the point of the war? |
