That's bad news for the party in power, which is why President Bush last week invited 240 people who agree with his economic policies to praise them at a forum in Waco, Texas. He talked of corrupt ceos in terms he once reserved for Osama bin Laden, but offered little more than assurances that "we're the greatest nation on the face of the earth."

...Fatah Revolutionary Council organization claims? For whom was he working while in Baghdad? (Abu Nidal may have proclaimed himself a champion of the Palestinian cause, but he spent most of his career freelancing for various Arab and even possibly some Eastern European intelligence agencies.
