Gilad Shalit Still Alive. Maybe.

The IDF soldier whose capture precipitated the Israel-Hezbollah war last summer is likely still alive and being held by Hamas militants. These charmers have used the occasion of a Quartet summit to discuss the appointment of Tony Blair as chief peace negotiator to release an audio tape of Shalit's voice:

Hamas released an audiotape on Monday that it said was the voice of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier captured a year ago in a cross-border raid and believed to be held by the Hamas military wing and two other militant factions. The tape, released on the anniversary of the raid, was the first sign of life from Corporal Shalit since he was taken to Gaza.

This is like a punished dog trying to get your attention by showing you the other furniture he's ripped up. Further evidence that Hamas's famed political "pragmatism" is non-existent. It's now a neutered force in control of an immiserated islet on the Mediterranean.
