Arafats own people will likely off him if we and the Isaeli's keep the pressure on for reform.

I still would like to know who thes un-named aids and misc. sources are so that these stories can be verified.

[Miss Marple]

Well, I see that there were two people in a meeting, Mohammed Rashid and Paul Wolfowitz. Rashid works for Arafat.

Obviously, Wolfowitz isn't talking to the Times, so the answer to this little puzzle is that Rashid, Arafat's lackey, spoke to the Times.

I imagine that Rashid told the reporter what HIS version of events, saying things like "Mr. X told me this" and the Times takes it and runs with it.

In other words, this is all spin from Arafat's people. It is also hogwash.
