Dissembling statecraft

At Faster, Please! Michael Ledeen takes a look at “How Yasser Arafat got away with murder,” expands on it, briefly examines some similar cases and draws conclusions with a contemporary application: “The lies they tell and why.”
In my Standard article on Arafat I tried to tell the story and let the facts do the talking, hoping that smarter people than I would draw the appropriate lessons. Michael is the first to jump in and lend a hand helping us to understand what happened.
