Great cartoon

Congress is just filled with pieces of shit.

It turns out that there is some talk about conditioning the aid for Gaza, announced by Hillary, with the release of the prisoner, Gilad Shalit, the soldier captured by Hamas. So it is okay for Israel to kidnap non-military personnel to use as "bargaining chips" but not okay for the other side to capture a soldier. From where I sit, it seems as if the detention of thousands of non-military related Palestinians is a far greater crime than the capture of an enemy soldier. Maybe I am missing something here but I really am unsure what it is.
