#1 I'd say Abbas has a 'crisis of substance', i.e. his inability to anything of substance.

#2 I'm boggled. How low can WaPo ''journalism'' and moral equivalency go? Now I know. Not to put too fine a point on it, but in a generous mood one could say that WaPo has something of a crisis in credibility. More accurately and honestly. WaPo has none. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Anyone currently working there with the slightest notion of honor or honesty should bail. Didi mao, chop chop. The ground is coming up fast.

The difference between the Israeli and Palestinian views of the security issue was starkly illustrated on a recent night when Israeli troops drove into Nablus, stopped in front of the police station and began ''shooting randomly,'' according to Col. Bassam Darweesh, a deputy commander of the Nablus police force. ''We got reports of five robbery cases and we were not capable of doing anything because we were trapped.''

Israeli military officials said the soldiers were hunting wanted militants.

WaPo takes the Paleo murderers' words at face value - equivalent to the Israeli Govt. Hunting terrorists, militants my ass, realistically begins with the farce of Paleo ''security forces''. It's clear that the vast majority of ''reporters'' and ''editors'' at WaPo are terrorist symps. apologists, and enablers. This piece reeks of it.
