[Peace-discuss] focus 580 alert interrogator Goldberg propaganda

[C. G. Estabrook]

Stuart--

He's the same hack.  After he left college he apparently moved to 
Israel, joined the IDF (how many other foreign militaries may US 
citizens join?), and was a guard at a prison for Palestinians during the 
First Intifada.

And of course you're right, the last quote misrepresents Olmerts 
"convergence" policy, itself a lie.  --CGE
