It's amazing how many acts of simple stupidity occur in this world every day...the implication that this indicates the Israelis are any different than all the rest of us is absurd.

Absurd? Really? here's a bit more from the story... remember it took 3 weeks to release him. They knew who this guy was and who he wasn't in a day. They used him as a bargaining chip. For what? A better price on pistachios? It took the Israeli SUPREME COURT to get this guy released. That's what is absurd.
"Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry, acknowledged Wednesday that an error was made.
He laughed at the idea that the common names had anything to do with it.
"There was no case of mistaken identity. We know very well who the real Hassan Nasrallah is," he said."
