Half of Pardoned Prisoners Attempted Murderers

Thought my comments yesterday were too cynical? Let's review:

Here's what I wrote yesterday:

Yom Kippur Terrorists Arrested; 90 Others Approved for Release

Fortunately for the terrorists, they qualify under Olmert's strict catch-and-release program for terrorists, which requires a strict check of their hands. If no blood is found, they qualify for release after the emotions of the news of the latest near-miss attack die down.

Here's today's news:

A review of the file listing the 87 Palestinian prisoners slated for release posted on the Israel Prison Service finds that 47 of them were convicted for attempting to kill, planting or throwing bombs of fire bombs or shooting.

The good news is that I apparently exaggerated. Israel doesn't consider shooting and bombing civilians an attempt at murder. Perhaps it is a form of performance art.

Meanwhile, Israeli hostages languish in the hands of the Palestinians, with many more to come (God forbid).
