Frankly, when I read of Hamas leaders conning young kids into blowing themselves up, I sometimes hope that one day someone will invite the Hamas leadership to a parley, then arrest them. Unless Hamas shows a real (rather than rhetorical) sign that it is mending its ways, the only thing any American official should ever say to any Hamas member is "You have the right to remain silent..etc."
