...girl whom no one seemed to take responsibility for is much in demand. Listen carefully, and you can hear the clicking of car phones as agents rush to sign up TV-movie rights. The scriptwriters will have a field day with Katie's worst moment, on New Year's Eve, when she sat chained in her dungeon, watching on the closed-circuit television as police searched for her upstairs. "I yelled for them," she reportedly told police after her release. "But they couldn't hear me." That's been her problem all her life...

In addition, human rights organizations have found that nine more of the deportees had been scheduled for release from Israeli prisons or had had their sentences shortened, and were deported on the eve of their release as a sort of extension of their sentences. The latter cases show an inhumane and frustrating policy, seemingly borrowed from Stalin's reign of terror, of asserting power by releasing prisoners only to jail them again or, in this case, deporting them. And the former cases...
