ABC News on Hamas: 'Considered a Terrorist Organization by Washington'
Posted by Rich Noyes on June 19, 2007 - 12:12.
During a World News report on American options in the aftermath of Hamas violent takeover of Gaza last week, ABCs Dean Reynolds on Monday got out the ten-foot pole to describe the group whose suicide bombers have killed numerous Americans in Israel as well as hundreds of Israeli civilians: Now that Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by Washington, has taken command in Gaza, some things are becoming painfully clear about the Bush administrations course of action up to this point.
Considered a terrorist organization by Washington?! Thats an echo of the formula favored by the late Peter Jennings, who in 2002 referred to the group that blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut this way: The Bush administration says Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. As if its only our governments biased opinion.
Reynolds also tweaked the Bush administration for turning on the financial aid spigot now that Hamas, the fair and square winners of last years election have been excluded from the Palestinian government: The new government excludes Hamas, even though Hamas was elected fair and square a year and a half ago. This new Palestinian government is headed by a prime minister whose party won all of three percent in that election.
Reynolds made no mention of the not-so-democratic way Hamas gunmen allegedly executed their Fatah rivals in Gaza last week by tossing them off of rooftops and shooting them in the street.
