How will they justify
Reader comment on item: Gilad Shalit and Doing Business with Terrorists
Submitted by Steve (United States), Oct 18, 2011 at 17:04
How will they justify this "deal" when the obvious happens and these terrorists murder more people ? All those they murder moving forward will be on the back of this "deal" . How will they explain that to the new victims ?
