Arafat Killed American Diplomats

It should come as news to no one that the Nobel Prize–winning terrorist Yasser Arafat would kill Americans. This is the guy who engineered the Achille Lauro hijacking, during which wheelchair-bound American Leon Klinghoffer was shot and chucked into the sea. Now we learn that the foggy-headed fools of Foggy Bottom were aware from the start that Arafat was behind the murder of American diplomats in 1973.
According to an official U.S. intelligence memorandum dated June 1973 and released yesterday by the State Department,
The Khartoum operation was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval of Yasser Arafat.
The Khartoum operation entailed the seizure of diplomats at the Saudi Embassy in Sudan by Palestinian terrorists, in the course of which Ambassador Cleo Noel and U.S. charge d'affaires George Curtis Moore were executed, evidently on orders from Arafat. They were shot starting with the feet and working upwards, so as to prolong their agony.
Officially, the U.S. government blamed the Palestinian faction Black September, so as not to make it known that our partner in peace had committed murders that went beyond acts of war. Even while Arafat was holding forth before the U.N. General Assembly and grinning hideously during his Clinton era trips to the White House and Camp David, his culpability in these murders was known.
In 1986, there was an effort to indict Arafat under U.S. law, but Foggy Bottom "weighed in against such an indictment on the grounds that Arafat and his colleagues would some day be key to settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict," according to Daniel Pipes.
No wonder Arab terrorists despise us enough to think they can get away with crimes like 9/11. For decades the pattern has been they push, we move. Kudos to W for refusing to negotiate with Arafat.
