Tom Ricks post today at Foreign Policy:
The more I read Haaretz, the more worried I get:
Israel Defense Forces soldiers did not consider medical teams as entitled to receive the special protection granted to them within the framework of their duties during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, according to a new report by Physicians for Human Rights. ..."
Can anyone tell me how such behavior, including allegedly killing 16 medical personnel, is in the long-term interests of the state of Israel?
Good on ya, Ricks, now can you move that to my country's interests?

Not another 'secret sharer'? I thought I already exploded this cheesy term!

Fenton? Richard? How about you, Suzanne? Ms. Sophist? Ferris? Anyone?
Gosh, the silence in here is deafening! Helllooooo! Anybody home?
This is sorta creepy, I'm scared being here all alone. I'll go over to the other thread and join Witty in the finer demarcations of ancient Sumerian land title-stones.
Yeah, you should. Witty lives in a very well-sheltered and protected-by-goys residence. Great safe place to be when one waxes romantic about a foreign land, comfortable in one's easy chair.
