The American hostages held by FARC have been there for 5 years and I usually have to surf BBC or Al Jazeera to hear anything about them, not to mention the MIA in Iraq which the US media barely covers. I`m glad the Shalit family finally got the letter that was promised to Carter. Now is the time to set up the truce, do the prisoner exchange, get him home to his family and open up Gaza.
