[AGL] Fw: RE:[AlasBabylon] justice Israeli style

[Gerry]

Gerry, are you not impressed by the efforts of the IDF to avoid civilian

Yes. But more impressed with results than efforts...Predator drones are the
weapon of today, no fingerprints, no trail in the sand, no witnesses. Just
wait until they get into the hands of organizations like Murder, Inc...or Al
Queda.
