RABID PRESS

I could not believe my ears while listening to the headlines on the 17:00 news show. They actually had the nerve to ask if 'Azam 'Azam is going to sell the story of his imprisonment to the media for money. Bloody hells people, the man hasn't even been home for 24 hours yet and already you are questions like that as if he owes someone something. He was arrested for absolutely no reason other than that he was an Israeli with Tefron connections in Cairo. He was locked in a prison cell when not at hard labor, and when they finally got him out after releasing 6 Egyptian students who had planned to steal a tank and do 'lord knows what' (nothing legal is a safe bet) instead of all the political big shots going to Mrar to greet him there, they dragged him from Eilat to Tel Aviv. Excuse me, but there is something very wrong here. Sharon is at Mrar now. Why couldn't he go there yesterday? And now the media in the form of Moshe Shlonski thinks it's wrong for 'Azam 'Azam to sell his story for money. The man had 8 years taken from him through no fault of his own. He lost 8 years of income from work. Why the hells shouldn't he sell his story. For the highest amount possible says *I*. This is getting me as riled as the Southern Lebanese mess Falul Face created. Leave the man alone. He's going to have enough to deal with after being unjustly imprisoned for 8 years. Crikey, let him do what has to be done in peace and quiet.
