Ari Shavit Talking To Sharon's Lawyer (CounterPunch)

Are you saying that at a certain point in the past two years the Palestinians simply lost him, that they were erased from his map?

"I will not tell you anything that has not been published. But according to what has been published, two things happened. The first was the `Karine A' weapons ship.

"The second was a certain piece of intelligence that I sent them that shows clearly Arafat's full awareness of financial aspects of the perpetration of terrorist acts.

"When those things became clear about a person who swore 16,000 times to the Americans that he would make every effort to fight terrorism, he was erased. From that moment he was as good as dead."
