Al Jazeera's odd choice of word

Al Jazeera Tweet:

'Israeli soldier spends fifth year detained http://aje.me/lYJKGQ'

Yes that's right, according to Al Jazeera Gilad Shalit has been detained! Funny, I thought he had been captured by Hamas terrorists and held for five years without any contact with the outside world, without any communication with the Red Cross in contravention of the norms of international law and civilized behaviour.

For more about Gilad Shalit please read these articles as youwon't learn much from Al Jazeera or the BBC.
