Well, if CNN could come back late and claim that the Israelis ginned them up, it would be a propoganda coup for the Palestinians. Which is why, to my mind, there's no way in heck that the Israelis would do it. In any case, they are dealing with terrorists. Of course, they're going to leave a paper trail, especially when they're caught before they can destroy it. What really leaves me slack-jawed is that terrorists have letterheads. Good grief.

But that letterhead is a "tell" -- just like the pre-matyrdom videos .... there's an awful lot of indulgent VANITY in jihad. In fact -- it's all indulgent vanity.

I suppose one has to consider who has the most to gain or lose by generating fake documents. From my perspective, Israel has nothing to gain by releasing fakes while the Palestinians have everything to gain by claiming they are fake. The IDF would have to be either Carvillian or Bagalian to dream up such a stupid tactic.

I agree this is a little weird, but I can see why. These groups actually believe that what they are doing is legitimate. That they have a letterhead (or business cards...I can see it know: "Osama bin Hodgie, International Terrorist") is just an extension of this delusion.

My point is that the PLO and their minions believe their own lie: that what they are doing is the business of the Palestenian people.

Apparently, the letterhead makes them feel like they are doing their job.

Heck, they have office hours and "company logos" printed on the front door of their office buildings! When Arafat says he can't find the terrorists to arrest them he has to close the blinds on his window, because the local offices of the terrorist organizations is right across the street. One could come in Saturday through Wednesday 9 to 5 (half day on Thurs)...
