#1 The Israeli government placed an especially large "Kidnap Me" sign on the back of every Israeli when they made the murderers for corpses exchange with Hizb'Shaitan. This deal can't even be blamed on the usual Olmert incompetance because, remarkably, it reflected the wishes on the majority of the population.

#2 I'd bet my last dime there will be some "strangers" walking around Port Harcourt within the next two weeks, if they're not already there. Innocuous looking, well-behaving strangers that can shoot the eye out of a sparrow at 500 yards. I do think the "gunmen" have bitten off more than they can chew. I hope my predictions come to pass - Israel doesn't need to be "at war" with every group of thugs in the whole world.
