#1 Walid Abu Dhalfa, 45, was nabbed last week by Hamas' Executive Force in Gaza City. Early Monday, his body was brought to Shifa Hospital with signs of suffocation, Palestinian medical officials said. Hamas said he died while trying to escape.

Oh, c'mon. It's obvious he died from choking on all the cake and ice cream the boys were feeding him while he was in custody.
They'll be more careful next time...

#2 Falling off his new pony didn't help matters any.

#3 Taking a dead man to the hospital was supposed to help how, exactly? Typically, you take them to the hospital before they croak...

#4 I expect Amnesty Internatonal and Human Rights Watch, which have been so vigilant about Guantanamo and Abu Grahib, to immediately condemn Hamas' failure to accord its prisoners humane treatment and due process.

Ah, guys . . . that's your cue. You know, condemn Hamas for, you know, the due process thing? The choking the poor schmuck while he was in custody? That's a human rights issue, isn't it?

We're waiting.

Any time now.

Hello? Anybody there?

#5 I'm not holding my breath for the hue and cry from Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch.

#7 Man dies after taken into custody by Hamas

Why is this commonplace event even a headline? More like SOP. Keep up the good work, Hamas. Fewer Palestinians are good, but expanding their reputation as murderous criminals who are totally unworthy of a sovereign nation is even better.
