is catch and release. in dealing with terrorists it should be catch and never release, catch and put to hard labor, or if blackmailed into release it should be release and terminate.
2. send Barghouti to NY for trial with KSM
Berl ,   formerly of Seattle   (12.31.09)
let mr. O deal with him, he loves terrorists, and if we send him with explosive undies he will be a hero for Napolitano
3. obama regime wants to do something Israels left dont want

That makes a change coming from the left & Obama. The left have always been in favor of releasing Bargouti. Even before Shalit was taken Olmert & Livni and Peres were looking for excuses to release Bargouti because he was popular. More than ever now Israels peace camp want Bargouti out because they think he is the palestinian Nelson Mandella. Even Bush was generally in favour of releasing him. Now we have the Obama regime against releasing him. This is probably the first good thing the US has pressured Israel into doing since Obama came to power. Bibi has no business releasing Bargouti, Saadat or any other killers especially one that have blood on their hands. Shin Bet say that at least some of the men released will go back to terror and it will result in more kidnappings. Bibi & Barak know themselves thats exactly what will happen but they are putting security aside so they can get Shalit back. Problem is nobody wants to say Shalit must be sacrificed if it is the only way to keep the rest of the public safe so the government makes public security a secondry issue and Gilads release the top of the list. Now I just hope that Bibi, Barak will do what the US wants and not the Shalit family.
4. US Pressure

This is crazy, they pressure us to release him now not to. I personally, think all of these hard core terrorists, should be kept in jail once caught, however, lets not catch them, just kill them out right, then there is no problem. In this case, then let's release him to the US, let Obama deal with him since Barghouti has also killed Americans, or better yet, release all these terrorists and then kill them, in one mass bombing. We might be branded as War Criminals but people brand us with this anyway/
