I don’t want her,

But aren’t *we* to be prohibited from cruel and unusual punishment?

They’re welcome to keep her as long as they like.

It’s going to be a good weekend.
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!

But aren’t the other Israeli prisoners to be prohibited from cruel and unusual punishment?

I wish the concept of civil disobedience was more thoroughly explained to the many people who attempt to use it. The idea is to break the law, get arrested, take the punishment, and then publicize the unjust law from a position as an obvious victim. It’s not surprising that the “take the punishment” part is what people overlook, but I guess I’m just an idealist who thinks Martin Luther King Junior’s Letter from a Birmingham Parkbench for Coloreds wouldn’t have had the same impact as did his writing from jail.

a deportation form that they claim is self-incriminating

If they were in the US, they might have a case. I’m completely ignorant of Israeli law on this point, but I do think that it’s important to note that Israeli law, and not ours, governs in Israeli’s territorial waters, and it’s just possible that Israeli law does not provide a right not to self-incriminate.

And, of course, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. I can think of perhaps a dozen people as deserving as former congresscreature McKinney, but none more deserving.
