US-Funded Palestinian Group Kidnaps 3 Westerners

The Bush Middle East strategy hinges on its support for Mahmoud Abbas as a closet moderate, despite his calls for the shooting of Israelis and frequent calls by his Fatah organization to attack Americans. Today brings news that the al-Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, a Fatah group, has kidnapped three more Westerners:

Witnesses said the three people were eating in a restaurant when they were captured. They said shots were fired in the air as the men, with their heads covered, were led away by gunmen through the winding alleyways of Nablus' Old City.

As usual, there is no chance that anyone will be punished.
