Fool me once...

I saw today that the people of Hamas have passed along a letter to a captured Israeli soldier. See the link here, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081024/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_palestinians_captive_soldier . Now I remember recently the last prisoner swap that the Israelis had tried to pull off, and the dire results which it produced. So there really is no telling whether the Hamas people simply dropped the letter on a corpse or actually handed it to the still live soldier to read, but if I were the Israelis, I wouldn't forget for many generations to come, the results of that ill-fated prisoner swap. Good luck to them and I hope it actually works out, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't. I would have plenty of bady bags on hand just in case.
