Turkey Demands Israel for Names of Counter-Terror Commandos

Turkey Demands Israel for Names of Counter-Terror Commandos

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144167

"...............The Turkish daily Today’s Zayman reported Saturday that “Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office has submitted a letter to Israeli judicial authorities, demanding the identity of responsible people” in the counterterrorist operation. The letter demanded names and contact details along with an official copy of information and documents related to the incident....................."

This story bundles a number of interesting angles. The first - Could Pakistan do the same and demand the names of our SEALs? The second - Relations between Turkey and Israel continue downhill. Third - last years "aid ship" didn't carry humanitarian aid stuff - well we knew that.

I dunno Pete, but they (Pakis) were harboring (knowingly or unknowingly...yeah right) a known terrorist, screw'em. (but I'm no means the expert in "modern" international law) I surely hope the "War on Terror" pact got it covered...for whatever that flimsy piece of paper is worth..

Yeah, I've heard of those guys - you've gotta be careful, though, when they've had a few and their stories start to begin with, "Once upon a time..."

I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it. Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
