On Monday in Belfast, retired Canadian General John de Chastelain finally delivered the report he'd been waiting eight years to make: his international panel had spent the previous week observing the IRA decommission a vast array of weaponry, everything from a World War II-vintage machine gun to surface-to-air missiles. Using British and Irish intelligence reports on IRA arms as a guide, the general concluded that he had witnessed...
...General De Chastelain's announcement ought to mean the removal of a huge obstacle to a lasting settlement in Northern Ireland. But unionists aren't sure whether to believe him.

Israeli police estimate that more than 2,500 have smuggled themselves into Gush Katif; some plan to test Sharon's vow to use the army to remove any who try to resist the evacuation, pressing their slogan, "Jews don't deport Jews." The opposition--which is dominated by an assortment of far-right settlers from the West Bank, messianic rabbis, religious extremists and restless teenagers--has virtually hijacked the disengagement issue from the Gaza residents, who voice their dissent in acts of denial.
