Not good news....

It seems Hamas has taken over effective control of the Gaza Strip, and it is carrying out, um, justice:

After the rout at the security headquarters, some of the Hamas fighters knelt outside, touching their foreheads to the ground in prayer. Others led Fatah gunmen out of the building, some shirtless or in their underwear, holding their arms in the air. Several of the Fatah men flinched as the crack of gunfire split the air.

A witness, who identified himself only as Amjad, said men were killed as their wives and children watched.

"They are executing them one by one," Amjad, who lives in a building overlooking the Preventive Security complex, said by telephone. "They are carrying one of them on their shoulders, putting him on a sand dune, turning him around and shooting."

The killers ignored appeals from residents to spare the men's lives, said Amjad, who declined to give his full name, fearing reprisal."


I'm sure the UN will quickly be imposing sanctions and opening human-rights inquiries on the execution of prisoners. And, we'll see thousands protest in European cities, just like they did over Abu Ghraib, by nightfall.

Or not.

And the above looks like a great way for Desmond++ to get his wish.

Or not.
