Roger:
When Fatah was in control Hamas and other splinter groups were the “militant’ groups that carried out the war during peace talks and Fatah could not be held responsible for those radicals. Now hamas is in control and, suprise, another group has taken on the militant role so the war against Israel can continue. Once again we have the “moderate” face to present to the west and the “no peace till Israel is extinguished” group to present to the Muslim world. And of course the naive press of the world ignores the fact that this script has been acted out for the last 40 years with little to no changes. War plans are never stopped. War in Arabic. Moderation in English for the press. Their leaders often have two names. Their diplomatic name,their warrior name. Virtual recognition, rejection on paper and word and actions.Truces that have daily rocket attacks. Used car salesmen blanche at that much dishonesty yet the western press swallows it hook, line and sinker.

Some of those questions show someone’s paying attention.

“Reporters” don’t like people paying attention cos they get busted like he did.

In short, he’s not doing his job.
