Now let's all see what Ari has to say today.
In the immediate term, one of the goals, of course, is the diminution of violence, the creation of an environment in which both parties feel more comfortable talking to each other, because Yasser Arafat is no longer under siege in his headquarters in Ramallah, the Israeli people don't feel under siege because it's impossible to go out on the street without being worried about a suicide bomber taking their lives or the lives of their children. So the diminution of the violence is, first and foremost, a major concern....
He's right about Arafat being out and about, wrong about Israeli's not being under siege. I didn't hear todays remarks. Clearly Tenet has caused some embarassment, though I don't think it will get much coverage.
