Bruce, You know he will be alive a week from now. Israeli troops have him surrounded and pinned down in his little bunker in Ramallah. What they are doing in fact is protecting him from his own Palestinian militants. If he were allowed to roam freely in Gaza, then I would not like his chances of surviving a week from now. What many people do not realize is that Israel does not have capital punishment, even for terrorists. Only former Nazis such as Eichmann were subject to the death penalty. Not so in the Palestinian areas. There is no rule of law. If someone does not like you you get shot immediately, no questions asked, without benefit of a fair trial.
