Officials: Barghouti will not be freed |
2006-09-25 |
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced on Sunday that as part of any deal for the release of kidnapped IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit the PA would demand that Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti be freed. According to Israel Radio, the PA would also demand that Ahmad Sa'adat, who planned the murder of former minister Rehavam Ze'evi, be released. Abbas spoke in an interview to an Egyptian station, and also said that the Egyptian government was in charge of negotiating a prisoner exchange agreement. Officials in the prime minister's office said in response to Abbas' announcement that Israel's position on Barghouti and Sa'adat was unchanged, and that they would not be released. The officials responded sharply to Abbas' remarks. "He can forget it," they said. "Israel has not changed its policy on Bargouti and Sa'adat." |

#3 I sort of get the feeling that I just unwittingly stepped into a trap that I didn't know I had made! :-) |

#2 Is it just me, or is the logic something that only works if you've had a full frontal lobotomy? The only choice left to a people that prefers anything to a full bottle in front o'me... |

#1 I spoke with someone who claimed to be a cousin of his. Their firm belief is that Israel is overreacting to his behavior, which they classified as "naughty". Kinda makes you wonder what you have to do to be considered "evil". Oh wait, I know, all you have to do is insult Mohamhead. Is it just me, or is the logic something that only works if you've had a full frontal lobotomy? |
