...Hide The Numbers?", your story on the political reaction to the roundup of immigrants suspected of being connected to the Sept. 11 attacks, truly amazes me.

...Friday, the PA had suspended whatever efforts it was prepared to make to round up the militants, claiming the Israeli barrage against its facilities made such action impossible. European and U.N. diplomats are insisting that the only way for the Palestinian leader to save his political hide is to crack down hard on Hamas and Islamic Jihad. But that may be wishful thinking, now. It would take an extraordinary leap of the imagination to picture a leader whose epic powerlessness in the face of Sharon is being underlined to his own people on an hourly basis - Arafat is holed...
