| Arafat’s Billions -- 60 Minutes reports | |
| 2003-11-10 | |
| (Link via Damian Penny) Not much new in this report for Rantburg and blogosphere regulars, but posting here FYI... (CBS) Yasser Arafat diverted nearly $1 billion in public funds to insure his political survival, but a lot more is unaccounted for. Jim Prince and a team of American accountants - hired by Arafat’s own finance ministry - are combing through Arafat’s books. Given what they’ve already uncovered, Arafat may be rethinking the decision. Lesley Stahl reports. "What is Mr. Arafat and the Palestinian Authority worth today?" asks accountant Jim Prince. "Who is controlling that money? Where is that money? How do we get it back?" Read the rest at the link.

| #2 The best part of that segment was whent he PLO guy tried to deny and then defer that the accounts even exists. A classic Clintonian statement if the ever was one. "What money?" "Oh, you mean he ones with my signature?" LIES LIES LIES JEWISH LIES! |
