The Fath Circus
So the Fath Circus continues its freak show. Abu Mazen was "elected" (with no contestation) by people that he had appointed. And the number of people appointed to this Fath congress exceed the numbers in all previous Fath congresses. In other words, Abu Mazen is more autocratic than even Arafat. We can summarize the congress as follows: there are really two factions: the Dahlan faction and the "Araftist" faction led by Ahumad Quray` (Abu `Ala'). So the two factions are both corrupt, politically and financially.
