| Yehiyeh to meet with Tenet |
| 2002-08-09 |
| Probably nothing will come of these unending rounds of yap-yap, since the crazed killer set doesn't listen to a word the negotiator set says... The Palestinian delegation to Washington has decided to extend its visit to allow for a meeting between CIA Director George Tenet and Palestinian Authority Interior Minister Abdel Razek Yehiyeh. On Friday, the Palestinians were due to see William Burns, the assistant secretary of state for the Near East, and Fred Schieck, the deputy director of the U.S. Agency for International Development. According to Israeli reports, a CIA team that visited the region secretly has formulated a detailed plan for security reforms in the Palestinian Authority. The team spent several weeks in the PA and Israel, meeting with top security officials on the Palestinian side, and apparently with Israeli officials as well, Haaretz reported in its headline on Friday. They did not meet with PA Chairman Yasser Arafat, as per the U.S. administration's instructions to circumvent him. "Yasser Who?"... Every once in awhile, one of the negotiator set changes hats and becomes a member of the crazed killer set and ceases listening to himself. It's all very confusing, but it's become tedious rather than frightening. |
