The new "South Lebanon Army"--in Palestine: "U.S. officials training Palestinian security forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas are emphasizing urban anti-terrorist techniques as part of a systematic effort to bolster Abbas and his Fatah loyalists to counter the political success of Hamas, according to Palestinian analysts and officers receiving the training." (I always believed that all the decent people in the Fath movement are no more there. They either were killed by the governments of Israel, Jordan, and Syria, or they resigned in disgust from the movement). (thanks Lisette)
