Talkback
Title:utter failure
Name:Cop out editorial
City: State:
What nonsense is this? It`s a sham. The government has proved once more that it is unreliable and impotent. Barak and the government have once more deceived the Shalit family and have abandoned a soldier of the IDF, a prisoner of war. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped while on duty on Israeli territory and Barak seems to ignore this for his own political convenience. The people will not be fooled by such manipulation. Olmert is a corpse but those waiting to take his place will have the Shalit family and Israel breathing down their necks. Isralis are well aware that today it is Gilad Shalit but tomorrow it may well be their own sons.
