>>>>>Barak administration's proposals at Camp David and Taba as proof of their good faith.<<<<< Dennis Ross was on CBS smorning (with Osgood) laying out what happened at Taba with some interesting sidelights. 1. He noted that the Clinton bridging non-paper was read at dictation speed to Arafat and his negotiators so that there would be no misunderstanding about what had been offered. I got the impression that there was no objection raised. It was, Ross said anew, 97 per cent of the territories returned. The paper was never divulged publicly by the PA side. 2. About the Jerusalem holy sites, Arafat, who apparently is an archeologist in his spare time, insisted that the Temple Mount was really in Nablus, not Jerusalem, according to Ross. Now wouldn't that create a mess if it were true. Chelsea Clinton would have had a more interesting dinner companion at Camp David had she chosen Arafat rather than Barak. New subject: While it's a stretch by the NY Times' one-week "expert" on Sudan to suggest that we could learn something about the ME situation from our fresh handling of events in Sudan, a somewhat closer parallel is that of the nasty, long-running affair in Sri Lanka, where a cease fire (with no US intervention that I'm aware of) has blessedly come about. Tamil Tiger suicide bombers and slaughter of civilians have been a marque feature of that terrible conflict.
