And he's a Nobel Peace Prize winner...

(Hat tip: Power Line.)

Twenty years before he joined Bill Clinton and Yitzhak Rabin in Washington for that famous handshake--and proceeded to become Clinton's most frequent foreign guest at the White House--Yasser Arafat planned and directed the murder of an American ambassador and his deputy chief of mission. From the first moment of the deadly operation, which took place in Khartoum on March 1, 1973, the State Department possessed direct evidence of Arafat's responsibility, yet neither the State Department nor any other government agency made public its knowledge. Indeed, as recently as the summer of 2002, the State Department denied that such evidence existed. Across seven administrations, the State Department hewed to silence and denial.

The U.S. State Department is an accessory to murder. It's time to execute it.

The department should be disbanded, its entire staff let go, and replaced with a new department. The Administration also needs to explore why the State Department's loyalties seem to lie everywhere except with America, and change the way the Department is run so its people are less exposed to toxic influences, or at least exposed to a lot more of an antidote.
