"Report: Hundreds detained by Israel without charge"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/10/14/israel.detention/index.html
Just a bit disconcerting, don't you think? The concept is called administrative detention, defined as "detention without charge or trial," and it is legal under international law, but only in "extreme cases to protect the security of the state." With Israel currently holding over 300 Palestinians under the rationale of administrative detention, one has to question their judgment. Over 300 people? With no supposed charge or trial to be heard of? Israel, if you want anyone to take you seriously, this is not the way to do it.
