More on the cowards who surrendered meekly to their hated enemy, Israel, at the Jericho jail the other day, from the Times Online today. Saadat was all but running the prison, with generous perks for him and the other murderers of status.

• Monitors complained that Saadat, Shobaki and the four other “special” prisoners were given the run of the compound by Palestinian guards
• They were not “locked down” at night
• They were never separated from the 300 other prisoners
• They had mobile phones and computers; Shobaki ordered the monitors’ phone jammers to be turned off
• They had up to 90 visitors a week and used other prisoners “as domestic staff”
• Saadat kept birds and had a big book collection
• Inmates and guards referred to Shobaki as “brigadier”. He smoked up to five Cuban cigars a day.

It’s not difficult to see why Israel had to act immediately when the U.S. and British monitors left. Saadat and the rest would obviously have just strolled off once they realized they were no longer being observed.

I think it’s fair to assume that their current digs are considerably less comfy.
