PowerLine's Scott Johnson has probably the best sum-up of how the US Government, and particularly the US State Department spent over 30 years covering up the murder of two of its own -- George Curtis Moore and Cleo Noel, Jr. -- to benefit that monster Arafat and grease the wheels of diplomacy, diplomacy that got us less than nowhere: How Arafat Got Away with Murder.
Be sure to read it all if you're not familiar with the case or need a refresher.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

I see that Michael Ledeen has written about Scott Johnson's article as well:
"The Lies They Tell and Why"
http://pajamasmedia.com/xpress/michaelledeen/2007/01/21/the_lies_they_tell_and_why.php
What is incredibly nauseating to swallow is as Ledeen puts it:
"Why? For two reasons. First, because CIA had made a deal with the PLO, or rather CIA had appeased the PLO. CIA agreed to provide the Palestinian terrorists with intelligence, in exchange for a PLO promise not to kill American diplomats. Second, because Kissinger and the other master strategists of the Nixon Administration wanted to advance a “peace process,†and they had to have PLO compliance for that to have any hope of success, and the American public would never support it if they knew Arafat had ordered the assassination of our diplomats."
(No wonder the Iranians saw fit to take American hostages and today's jihadis are so full of themselves knowing that Americans would submit to the killing of their own diplomats)
But that in the future, knowing all this, Reagan's advisers would see to it that Arafat's butt was saved in Lebanon and then Bush the "elder's" would still bring him back into international political prominence to murder so many people, destroy and steal I find it hard to believe that it was not malfeasance.
