Imagine what the murderer was thinking.
Wait, which one's the murderer? It's all so confusing...

WASHINGTON – After 33 years of secrecy, the U.S. State Department has finally declassified a document admitting it knew the late Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, plotted and supervised the murders of two U.S. diplomats in Sudan in 1973, a cover-up first exposed by WND in January 2001.
The document, released earlier this year, with no fanfare, makes it clear the Khartoum operation "was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval" of Arafat, a frequent visitor to the White House throughout the 1990s who died in 2004.
In the attack March 1, 1973, eight members of the Black September terrorist organization, part of Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO, stormed the Saudi embassy in Khartoum on Arafat's orders, taking U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel, diplomat Charge d'Affaires George Curtis Moore and others hostage, and one day later, killing Noel, Moore and Belgian diplomat Guy Eid.
The admission comes 33 years after James J. Welsh, then the National Security Agency's Palestinian analyst, saw a communication intercepted from Arafat to his terrorist commandos in Sudan.
Within minutes, Welsh told WND, the director of the NSA was notified and the decision was made to send a rare "FLASH" message – the highest priority – to the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum via the State Department.
But the message didn't reach the embassy in time. Somewhere between the NSA and the State Department, someone decided the warning was too vague. The alert was downgraded in urgency.
The next day, eight members of Black September, part of Arafat's Fatah organization, stormed the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, took Noel, Moore and others hostage. A day later, on March 2, 1973, Noel, Moore and Eid were machine-gunned to death – all, Welsh had insisted for years, on the direct orders of Arafat.

just an observation, and an astute one.
I frequently post from WND , as some Freepers call it World Nut Diaries.
Like the site myself, Farah, Roy Moore, Norris.

The game is to brainwash Israelis and Americans that the PALS et al are really interested in peace, a two-state solution and Israeli compromise. It has worked very well and both the USA and Israel are being overwhelmed by the Islamofascists in deals as well as military conflicts. It is time to let Israel be Israel, fire Olmert and put BIBI back in charge to defeat these Islamic thugs.
OK so we give a point to Rudy for having balls...

You left out an important fact, but I'm sure you knew that already.

You are right. Perhaps Jimmy needs to be buried a long side this slimy pile of Arab swine.
