Report: American presidents loved on US diplomat's murderer

When, in 1993, then-United States President Bill Clinton welcomed PLO chief Yasser Arafat onto the lawn of the White House and offered to help the arch-terrorist get his bloody hands on chunks of the Jews' historic homeland, the Commander in Chief was embracing the cold-blooded murder of an American diplomat.

Eleven years later, when President George W. Bush learned of Arafat's demise, he issued a statement expressing America's "condolences to the Palestinian people [sic]" at the passing of this killer of Ambassador Cleo Noel and Charge d'Affaires George Curtis Moore.

Such was the measure of these American leaders - and their predecessors' - resolve to oversee a diplomatic process that would appease the strident Arab demand for "Palestinian" independence at Israel's expense.

While not entirely new revelations, a report headlined "CIA papers show Arafat ordered murder of American diplomats in Sudan" appeared Monday in the Israeli daily Ha'aretz.

It cited recently declassified Central Intelligence Agency documents belonging to former CIA Director Richard Helms, and which revealed how then-US National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger instructed the CIA to continue diplomatic contacts with Arafat's PLO representatives before the 1973 Yom Kippur War, even after Arafat ordered the kidnapping and murder of Noel, Moore and Belgian diplomat Guy Eid in Khartoum, Sudan.

WorldNetDaily reported in December 2006 that a CIA document released earlier that year "with no fanfare, makes it clear the Khartoum operation 'was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval' of Arafat, a frequent visitor to the White House throughout the 1990s who died in 2004."
