Reporter Raviv Drucker of Channel 10 writes in his personal blog that government instituted censorship on the deal to free Gilad Shalit actively helps support it as critics are left in the dark as to its flaws.  According to Druker, the Chief Censor has put a gag order on details that have nothing to do with security considerations.

“I have no idea how the cabinet will vote on the deal,” writes Druker, “but I sure know how Chief Censor Sima Vaknin Gik would vote if she had the chance.”
