Why Gilad Shalit is not free

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said:

 

"We have a moral responsibility and to do everything fitting and possible to bring Gilad Schalit home. Not at any price and not only in negotiations."

The best minds in Israel, as well as the defense establishment, "are currently sitting on the matter,"

...

"The matter is crucial, and it is not simple..."

Aha! But Mr. Barak, the part of the body that you think with, is not the part that you use to sit on things. This confusion is very common in government, and leads to many errors. Sitting on a problem doesn't solve it.
