The Israeli government has vowed to expel Yasser Arafat, calling him an "obstacle" to peace. But the 72-year-old Palestinian leader is much more than that; he is a career terrorist, trained, armed and bankrolled by the Soviet Union and its satellites for decades.

Mr. Pacepa was the highest ranking intelligence officer ever to have defected from the former Soviet bloc. The author of "Red Horizons" (Regnery, 1987), he is finishing a book on the origins of current anti-Americanism.

In April 1978 I accompanied Ceausescu to Washington, where he charmed President Carter. Arafat, he urged, would transform his brutal PLO into a law-abiding government-in-exile if only the U.S. would establish official relations. The meeting was a great success for us. Carter hailed Ceausescu, dictator of the most repressive police state in Eastern Europe, as a "great national and international leader" who had "taken on a role of leadership in the entire international community." Triumphant, Ceausescu brought home a joint communiqué in which the American president stated that his friendly relations with Ceausescu served "the cause of the world."

Yet another indictment against the idiot peanut farmer from Jawja.

Color me unsurprised. It is all right there, and no amount of talking about it will matter one whit to the idiots on the left.

They know the truth but they have mastered the art of "doublethink" in a way that would make George Orwell proud.

And if someone doesn't believe that, just ask a Leftie about McCarthy. This isn't a new thing.

If i take Pacepa at his word, then...Wow!

Of course, if there's nothing else to back his info, then he's just seeing $$$$.

I'd rather think him sincere.

Fascinating article. Jimmeh strikes again. I'd forgotten that Ceausescu was on his list of beloved dictators.

That's certainly going to be what the leftists say. They will claim he made it all up for money. But, I doubt very much he made much from that book. After all, I had never heard of it before. Had you?

Still, like you, I am hoping for documentation to back it up.

Americans were still naïve enough to revere national leaders.

Kinda says it all.
