On a side note

I forgot to mention that Israel should label as "enemy combatants" those who use themselves as human shields. That's one thing I did indeed like about Rumsfeld.

When misguided Americans said they were going to fly out to Iraq before the war started and position themselves as human shields, Rumsfeld declared they'd be treated as enemy combatants. I smiled that day. :-)
