...gruesome photograph of the bodies of three Palestinian guerrillas [Oct. 11] and the general apathy in response to their summary trial and public hanging bring to mind what might have happened if this had been Israeli, not Syrian justice. Undoubtedly we would have heard cries of outrage from the Third World, accusations of barbarism from Moscow, criticism from Secretary-General Waldheim and perhaps even a muted protest from the Pope...
What a costly error on the part of the unfortunate Palestinian terrorists. Didn't anyone tell them the U.S. is the place to commit a crime? A mere week or so of deliberations, a possible term in jail, then out on bail in no time, ready to kill again...

The man was innocent, the Israeli agents were arrested. Perhaps the most serious consequence of the blunder was that the Mossad, the Israeli spy agency responsible for the killing, lost its reputation for reliability. When, a few days before the October War, the organization produced plans for the Arab attack, Israel's leaders were not convinced that the plans were genuine...
