More fantastic news from the humanitarians from Hamas: They want terrorists to work with, not against, the Palestinian police. Just to show how well-meaning they are, they've put a character named Jamal Abu Samhadana in charge of Palestinian police and security forces. Samhadana has been on the receiving end of a few targeted assassination attempts by the Israelis.
Just for the record, I have no problem w/ Israel's targeted killings. Shin Bet and the Mossad seem to have a pretty good handle on who the baddies are and where they can be found. While there has been too much "collateral damage" from these strikes, it certainly appears that the Israelis are going after the right people.
Regardless, this latest move from Hamas is akin to turning over the US Drug Enforcement Agency to John Belushi or giving the secret handshake from the New York Stock Exchange to Jeff Skilling. In all cases, the result is a near-guarantee that the abuses will only get worse.
How I long for the days leading up to the Yom Kippur War, when Israel's biggest threats came from other countries, instead of a bunch of lunatics who already have a free pass to the entire country, and the sickness of mind to think blowing themselves and a bunch of civilians up will actually help furthur their goals.
