...allowing Palestinian terrorist Abu Daoud to be freed [Jan. 24], France shows again that it is merely a puppet in the hands of Arab dictators.

"We don't kill spies of friendly nations," says one agent, with a smile. Abu Daoud, however, would probably be wise not to put those smooth assurances...
