#3 Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Does Abbas plan to do this exclusively by formal firing squad, or continue the tradition of random gunnies pulling the suspect out into the middle of the street to dispose of him? At least Amnesty International has protested such behaviour on occasion, for what it's worth.

#4 Amnesty International delegates were told that the Palestinian Authority had promised the European Union not to carry out any further executions. However, according to reports, at least 28 alleged collaborators have been killed by armed Palestinians in 2002.

So they lied? To the Europeans? Their friends? How can that be? It must be some mistake. It MUST be. . .

#5 Israel has not, AFAIK, made any requests of the PA as far as treatment of collaborators is concerned. That says to me they are aware of what a political hot button it is.
