The Fath Circus (update)

There is a lot about the Fath circus that you don't read about in Western accounts. Do you know that Abu Mazen "presidential guards"--don't you like the name about the guards protecting a "president" whose term expired months ago?--have beaten and even shot at senior Fath leaders when they spoke out of "line" or when they criticized Abu Mazen. This is a circus that would make the Ba`th very proud. And the funny thing about the affair is that the two factions that are feuding (the Arafatist faction led by Abu `Ala' and the Dahlanist faction led by Dahlan) are both equally corrupt and collaborationist. But in today's meeeting Dahlan clashed with Abu Mazen's lietenants, like Abu At-Tayyib.
