<<< Hitchens also cites a piece by Israeli analyst Akiva Eldar that told of a "memorandum of understanding" signed by the Israeli and Palestinian security chiefs, brokered by the Americans, designed to combat underground terrorist outfits and arrange for an exchange of intelligence. But there was a glitch, Eldar reported: "Netanyahu forbade representatives of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) to meet with their Palestinian and American counterparts for the purpose of establishing a joint monitoring mechanism that would supervise the implementation of the memorandum. It is difficult to fathom how this very same individual, who swears allegiance three times a day to the cause of the security of Israel's citizens, is willing to forego a formal Palestinian Authority. The reason for Netanyahu's position is that he is opposed to a concomitant Israeli commitment to confiscate firearms in the possession of Jews who plan, or support, terrorist actions." >>> antiwar.com

Government targets are suddenly okay? LOL! I've never asserted that they weren't. In fact, I have never asserted that attacking the Pentagon was illegitimate. Only that using a civilian airliner full of passengers made it illegitimate. Of course, for those working at the Pentagon on that day, you'll never convince them it wasn't an act of terrorism. However, the attack upon the WTC, where some 50,000 civilians work on a daily basis, WAS DEFINITELY an act of illegitimate terrorism. Hawk
