Reader C.S. sends the following screen captures of Operation Summer Rain in Gaza. These aren't the worst images – maybe later – they just seem to feature the most likely culprits in the abduction of Cpl. Shalit.   Â
In an update to my Wednesday column on the "Other Russia" conference of anti-Putin Russian activists being held in St. Petersburg in the run-up to the G-8 summit, I note that the issue of U.S. government funding and the presence of the neo-fascist National Bolsheviks...
