This Zionist fanatic is with the club of Zionist fanatics, called the Washington Institute for Near Policy. Here, he peddles Israeli propaganda claims--surprise, surprise. But I like the byline: "Magnus Norell is an adjunct scholar with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a senior analyst at the Swedish Defense Research Agency in Stockholm. In 2000, he helped create a back channel between Hezbollah and Israel to facilitate the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon." What was that? Excuse me? Did I miss something? Israel humiliatingly withdrew from Lebanon in 2000 without any advance notice or preparation. Is this like how Christopher Hitchens claims that he interviewed Abu Nidal in a street cafe in Baghdad in the 1970s? (thanks Ziad)
