Well then, I say Jesse let himself be swapped.

The greatness of America is that you have the right to fight.

Well, he has a point there.

Jackson is a veteran at mediating between warring parties shaking down warring parties under the pretext of mediating.

this Prisoner looks pretty tense (or is it intense?):

Then we became seen as the aggressor, we bombed Grenada, bombed Panama there was pre-emptive strike in Iraq...

No mention of Viet Nam, Haiti or the Balkans. Why Jesse?

[SAMS]

Took long enough for this media whore to get involved, has he been on vacation?

Jackson's retirement, and then his silence, would help defuse racial tension................

[pawdoggie]

Don't let this slip out to the Jihadis and their state sponsors, but Jesse is really a CIA disinformation agent. He's cleverly established a Left-Wing "peace activist" cover in order to negotiate hostage releases on behalf of the Bush Administration and the Israelis. That's why the IRS refuses to investigate the Rev's shaky finances. Thank goodness the bad guys aren't on to him yet. I'd hate to be in his shoes if that happens.

"He said the Israeli prisoner in Gaza [Gilad Shalit] was alive and he is concerned with a swap of a thousand people at least and about the Palestinian elected officials who have been arrested [by Israeli forces].

Whooh! A thousand prisoners being held by Israel?

I don't think they have that many prisoners.

[packrat35]

Jesse, you ignorant slut.

[World'sGoneInsane]

You can say what you want about Jesse Jackson, but he's always been successful at getting hostages released. In addition the families seem to find comfort in him when he brings them back. I hope he can get the Israeli soldiers released. If he can pull this one off, then he deserves respect for that.
