JERUSALEM (CNN) -- The Israeli army Thursday released two sets of documents that it says link Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat to terrorism, while the Palestinians said they are fakes.

"I think it's up to Israel to prove that they're real," said Palestine Liberation Organization legal adviser Diana Buttu. "The Israeli government, over the past week, has denied freedom of the press. Israeli journalists themselves are saying that they're unable to verify any of the claims made by the Israeli government or investigate any of the claims of the Israeli government."

Asking the Pale's to confirm any charge is like asking Clinton to confirm any charge.

That comment is so dumb and inept it must be sincere.

I think a convincing, authentic detail is the minutiae over small sums of money - a tight-fisted characteristic of the Al Qaeda guys too.

The Palestinians quoted in the article seem to "protest too much". I seem to remember the benevolent Palestinian authority issuing death threats against journalists who reported about the Palestinian joy after the events of September 11. Oh, and didn't they also try to suppress photographs of the brutal slaying of the Israeli soldier unlucky enough to find himself in the Ramallah police station? etc. etc.

Those Palestinians are the epitome of truthfulness, right?

Yes of course he is a terrorist.

I could have told you that prior to 1985 when the Hezbollah in order to free Arafat’s Black Septemberists beat, tortured, threw Navy Diver Robert D. Stethem’s body onto the tarmac from a Hijacked TWA Plane in Athens. They shot him in the head for fuel.

Even Rush today finally admitted that “Bush will not label Arafat a terrorists and that’s a problem for me”

Bush -2 handlers had better awaken soon or repeat Bush 1’s fate.
