Look, I've studied the antics of the press here at FR for over three years. A quote this explosive would be EVERYWHERE - and the pro-Palestian journalists would be baying for Zinni's head on a platter. The fact that they are not barking is a clue in itself. Bold Fenian, for whatever his motives are, is correct to call into question the veracity of this story. That is the problem with false stories - it gives your opponents ammo - and, considering how poorly most of America and the world view Arafat, why bother with false stories? The truth by itself should be sufficient right now...
