Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman," Kerry wrote in "The New War," now out of print.

Kerry added that terrorists "whose only object is to disrupt society require no such 'role models [as Arafat].' "


Things have to be read in context. When I read these statements, my understanding is that Kerry feels that Arafat's newfound "respectability" will encourage terrorism.

Kerry is condemning Arafat, not praising him.

[Edit: after reading the thing for a fourth time, I have to admit I have no idea what the hell he is trying to say]
