Some prisoners have more political clout than others
The press is full of stories today about Olmert’s deal with Fatah to free hundreds of Palestinians currently in Israeli prisons. During all these maneuverings, no mention is made of the three Israelis held prisoner for over a year — Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. The UN is utterly passive. Ordinary people haven’t forgotten, however, and Atlas Shrugs has incredibly comprehensive coverage of a well-attended rally outside the UN urging the UN to get off its corrupt, anti-Semitic butt and do something. Check it out. (Funnily enough, I don’t recall seeing any coverage in the MSM. Is it there and I missed it? Or did the MSM miss it? Let me know, since I don’t have time to look now, but am heading for childcare duty.)
