...latest round of diplomatic efforts - aside from a greater role being played by European diplomats, they're not dissimilar from the intervention tried by Presidents Clinton and Mubarak last November at Sharm El Sheikh, which produced a cease-fire agreement that, like the more recent Mitchell and Tenet efforts, meant little in practice. But as the months grind on and the body count rises, there may be elements on all sides who sense that what is occurring is far more profound than a temporary breakdown of the peace process. The clock is ticking for the peacemakers; the extremists have time...

But Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has no good options for moving forward...
...pushed for a plea, getting support in swaying Attorney General John Ashcroft from such corners as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and CIA chief George Tenet and would clearly prefer the back-room route from here on out. For one thing, a trial would have forced prosecutors to put on the witness stand the FBI's prize source - a Russian who stole Hanssen's KGB file from Moscow Center, as Russian intelligence headquarters is known, and handed it over to the bureau. For another, the National Security Agency would have had to reveal highly classified details about its communications intercept capabilities...
