PA investigates itself

Another reason why you really need to learn the language of the country you study. I read today the item about PA's corruption scandal in NYT by deputy Israeli propagandist, Isabel Kershner. It was so ill-informed. Compare that to this informative report in Al-Quds Al-`Arabi which reveals to its reader that while Abu Mazen announced the formation of an investigation commission, a member of the commission, Rafiq An-Natshah, told Al-Quds Al-`Arabi that no one told him about this. Also, people should ask: whatever happened to that Dahlan stooge (former PA puppet parliament speaker, Rawhi Fattuh) who was caught smuggling thousands of cellphones in his car? I mean, Abu Mazen also announced the formation of an investigation commission back then.
