Wanna see some media bias on this issue?
Look at this amazing interview with Christine Amanpour and Ehud Barak:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/meast/10/12/barak.amanpour.transcript/
She really is agressive with him, borderline accusatory.
This comment in particular made me gain a lot of respect for Barak:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>BARAK: Christiane, try to imagine that you have a farm, it's attacked by rebels. You respond. Unfortunately, they are trying to kill you respond. You kill five of them and one of your family was killed. Is it fair to say that unless you will kill or let someone else kill another four of your family, it's not satisfactory? It makes him, not just the Hamas and Islamic Jihad, responsible for the following terrorist attacks that might easily come. We have to be able to make it clear. It's like you have lost today at the near Aden port four sailors and some, maybe 12, that disappeared. When you try to ask yourself, what's that, is it something offensive that the vessel had done? It's nonsense. Butchering is the intention of terrorists, to take the life of Americans since you are standing firm for freedom and against terror. And that's exactly what the world expects the leaders of the free world to do.[/quote]
