#3 Has someone spiked Israel's water supply with LSD? Who's up next for release, Samir ~~"The Child Killer"~~ Kuntar?

#4 Zen, I suspect a senility creep. Plus, "this is your brain on kool-aid".

#5 It's a good thing that he's that open about his intentions.

Let's see whether the Israeli electorate chooses short term placation of this sort or determination in the face of those who would destroy them.

#7 theres been speculation that Barghouti was jailed precisely to give him cred in the territories, and that hes really a closet moderate, an Israeli plant. OTOH, THAT could be disinfo spread to ruin his cred. If hes released, it could be like the Germans sending Lenin to Russia - or, if that gets about, it could be his death sentence.

#8 Barghouti's release would probably aid the Fatah side in the Fatah-Hamas gang war.

As LH implies, Hamas would probably think of it that way.

#9 I guess we need someone to run on the platform " If I become president I'll execute Barghouti."
