closest to home

Does anyone think that we're going to see Gilad Shalit delivered to Egypt alive and well this friday? Runblings on the arabic region online papers seem to think so. I hate to get my hopes up on this one, but they already are. It feels like we're constantly gobbling up scraps of Gilad confirmation because our whole country so desperately wants him home with his family.

Each time we're led to believe a deal will be solidified, it's fallen through and our hopes again drop down through the floorboards. I can only imagine the psychological gymnastics that Gilad is being subjected to by Hamas and/or whichever peonic Islamo-extremist testicle free sect of violence is holding him.

Keep the hope alive. The chances are real as long as he is with us. What an ordeal that man has been through.
