Palestinians reject pull-out role for Egypt "We deplore and are astonished at talk of a security role by Arab parties in Gaza and the West Bank." - Statement by Yassir Arafat's Fatah, Hamas and other militant groups in the area. This is a clear reference to both Egypt and Jordan, which have offered to help train Palestinian security forces in a small area of the West Bank that Israel is due to evacuate. Lets face it, the Palestinian 'security forces' do not want to be watched by other arabs.  That would spoil the whole 'the jews won't let us kill them' line.  Someone HAS to take responsibility for what these terrorists do.  Clearly the PA will not stop them. 3:05:45 PM

S. Korean Worker Reportedly Beheaded by Kidnappers Washington Post - The pan-Arab station said it had received a videotape showing that Kim Sun-il had been executed. Kim, 33, worked for a South Korean company supplying the US military in Iraq and was abducted last week, according to the South Korean government. How anyone can think that people, who murder innocent men and women without trial, are anything more than simple murderers is beyond me.  This isn't about religion, or defense of state.  This sort of killing is done by people who consider their victims as inferior. This is not revenge, but only preying on the week and defenseless. This is not resistance but is offensive action, with the attempted taking of power that does not legitimately belong to them. 1:01:24 PM

Andrew Sullivan: BECAUSE THEY CAN: Don't miss the Dallas Morning News' reporting on how child-molesting priests have been protected by the Vatican and moved from country to country to avoid arrest and prosecution. It's sickening, important and vital to keep our focus on.   12:57:08 PM
