The CIA and Fatah; Spies, Quislings and the Palestinian Authority

"It's no secret that the Bush administration has been funneling money to Palestinian militias that are preparing to overthrow Hamas. On Monday, Condoleezza Rice announced that the US would resume 'full assistance to the Palestinian government' and end the year long boycott to the people in the West Bank . The new aid?which could amount to as much as $86 million--will be used to shore up the PA security apparatus and pay the salaries of officials in the 'emergency government.' The uncovering of the CIA documents in Gaza will cast a cloud over the administration's largesse and make Abbas look like a Palestinian Karzai who gets financial treats from Washington to follow their diktats."
