Fox still insisting that Italy will take "as many as four" of the "miltants," but wants other members of the EU to take the others -- so far, no offers, of course.

Fox also reporting that 26 gunmen will be taken to Gaza to be jailed under supervision of Americans and British, in addition to the 13 to remain in the church. All others in the church will be free to go, per Fox.

"I wonder how much this cost the U.S. taxpayers? "

That was (exactly) my first thought.

I bet the gunmen will be under suicide watch......or is that homicide watch?

Fox woke up Whorealdo, who's reporting the "Italian deal not yet consummated." He also said the gunmen going to Gaza is a surprise, since many were speculating that Israel would strike Gaza after yesterday's bombing....

13 will be held in the church until they can be turned over to a PALESTINIAN court

Does anyone want to guess what the charges would be?

Tresspassing into a Catholic church?

I doubt they will be charged with kidnapping and murder.

If they are convicted, will they lose their right to purchase suicide vests upon their release from prison?

MSNBC says info comes from a "reliable Palestinian source."

I believe the term for this is "oxymoron."

Can't stand listening to CNN interview one of the "13" inside the Church. He says the Church is not Christian, it is Palestinian, and that he is a pharmacist, not a bombmaker. Says damage inside the Church was caused by Israelis, yada, yada, barf.

Well thanks, that does help lower my blood pressure a bit.

Frankly, there are those inside who said they welcomed the Palestinians........let them remain with their friendly terrorists.

My guess is that we won't see anyone come out until prime time (about four hours from now EDT) -- which has been the preferred time for gunfire and fires at the Church all along. If so, at least Whorealdo will be losing a whole lot of sleep.

I might want to cut them some slack.
When the IDF goes they're at the mercy of the thugs.
