Wassa matter, can't you google? A quick search brings up this link

lewrockwell.com

where Wanniski is crowing over some rumors he has heard that the Iraqi prosecutors deciding not to prosecutre Saddam for the Anfal campaign, as "proof" of what he's been saying along along:

As most of you know, I have for the last two years argued that whatever else Saddam Hussein did for good or ill as Iraq’s president since 1978, there is no evidence that he committed genocide. That he gassed the Iraqi Kurds has been an assertion that has been repeated so often by President Bush, Vice President Cheney and the American press that I’m sure 99.9% of the people believe it is gospel

As for

The book appears quite explicit in references to Arafat making appeals for Arial not to do his Temple Mount thing ,that did indeed become part of the excuse for the intifada.


Why, I'm sure it does. Doesn't mean it's true, though. Look, the Tanzim were organized in the summer of 2000, before the intifada started, and the Al Aqsa brigades in 2001 in response to Hamas' success in suicide bombing. Both groups were on Arafat's direct payroll. When the Israelis raided Arafat's offices, they found invoices for suicide bomb belts with Arafats signature of approval on them. This evidence is public and known to those who don't wish to close their eyes to it.
