Law & Order

Will we find any in Arab Palestine? Thanks to Marty Peretz's guidance, I found an article on Ha'aretz's website, announcing the arrest of 3 men who murdered Israeli settler Ido Zolden. They are Palestinian. They are under Fatah's command. Worse yet, they are Palestinian national security servicemen. Israel put a gag order on the arrest until after the Annapolis Conference concluded so as not to guilt Abbas. I'll ask what I've wondered many times before -- how much more control over the West Bank does Abbas have than over Gaza?

Abbas's inferiors causing trouble . . . anyone remember this?
