By the time of Campaign '04, their website had become a symbol of the new power of the Internet in national politics--a cyberspace headquarters of anti-Bush sentiment and a powerful online fund-raising tool, with some 2.8 million members.

...aging revolutionary, who spent his last three years living under virtual house arrest at the Ramallah compound where his organization now plans to inter his remains, as the symbolic personification of their national aspirations. Responding to efforts last week by Arafat's wife, Suha, to restrict access to her husband during his last days alive, Ashrawi, who had often publicly differed with Arafat on matters of policy and strategy, explained: "He is not just a husband or a father, he is father of a nation."
