Did you see `Adnan Abu `Awdah on AlJazeera's Ziyarah Khassah? Sami Kulayb, as usual, did an excellent job. Abu `Awdah was chief propagandist for King Husayn, especially during Black September. At one point, Abu `Awdah said that he left the Muslim Brotherhood (which he had joined) and then the Jordanian Communist Party (which he also had joined) because he could not take orders. Kulayb had to remind him that he later was taking orders when he was an officer at the mukhabarat of Jordan. Abu `Awdah now poses as an advocate against discrimination against Palestinians in Jordan. Did he notice such discrimination and slaughter during Black September?
