The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Lebanese Activist for Palestinian Cause Turns Out to Be Israeli Spy
NYT-IHT reports "Palestine backer or Israeli spy? Lebanese in shock over arrest"
The man is in a Lebanese prison cell, which may be the best place for his safety.
Or he could move to Israel and join the rest of the disenfranchised muslims in the land.
Or, hey, maybe with all the money they gave him he could eventually by a farm in West Bank so it can be stolen from him but which wife will he take?
The dude was given assurances during the 2006 war that his village would be spared from bombing, but one wonders how many other villages were bombed because of his 'information' .
And people wonder why collaborators have get such a hard time (sometimes even facing summary execution) when they get caught by their neighbors. Interestingly, Hezbollah did catch this guy, and handed him over to the regular Lebanese military. And yes, this contrasts with Hamas during and immediately after 'Cast Lead', but, at the time that he was captured Lebanon had a lot more security than Gaza has had in the past months. As I pointed out in "Perceived Collaborators Often Get Killed In Wartime. It Happened After Gaza War." When informers have gotten people killed, especially if the situation is still under threat, many societies, even groups aligned with the Allies in WW2, may take extreme measures with spies and collaborators, even to the point of executing them.
