I’m sure this will play well in Israel. Israeli army reservists just say no. A bunch (more than 60) Israeli army reservists, half of whom are officers, are refusing to serve any longer in the occupied territories, because they believe that the Palestinians are being abused and humiliated.

I’d respond to this. But it’s clear that this idiot author doesn’t understand Presidential History or the notion of precedent. Lucky for us, our Vice President does. Dick Cheney’s bonehead Enron play. The veep from Big Business just doesn’t get it: Hiding behind executive privilege only reinforces the sense that he’s hiding something smelly. [Salon.com]
