re: #44 Buck

Buck, I do not think this measly detainee policy can possibly reflect how this administration feels overall towards Israel and diplomacy in the Middle East. I am Jewsih too (god, you people know too much about me already) and do not see the logical progression. There is a lot of violence that happens in Israel, as you MUST know. So much terrorism. It would be in OUR best national security interests to take the second look at detainees who have Israeli citizenship. It doesn’t hurt just to look, and it doesn’t mar our relationship with Israel. If you think it does, please tell me how looking into imprisoned aliens implies that Obama is taking a neutral stance on the Israel issue.

re: #47 Buck

And that lie is that Israelis will be treated the same as if they came from Gaza (Hamas controlled Gaza). No lie.

Any poor treatment would only come from if something actually surfaced from an intra-bureau investigation. And besides, they’re detainees already. They have already lost some guaranteed rights as aliens as a condition of being detained.
