Nathan, even when you're wrong, you usually make sense. This dispatch comes from way around the bend.
Let's see who else is an outlier? Sen Charles Schumer? "The P.L.O. is the same as the Taliban, which aids, abets and provides safe haven for terrorists" How about Richard Gephardt, quoted in the Oct 15 '01 Jerusalem Post, supporting AIPAC - or in the same paper, Nov 9 '98, described in a profile of the new Congress as "a strong pro-Israel voice"? Am I dissing tireless activists on the ground by asking these questions?
