Tom's Take (AM)
[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/11/09/art.amanpour.writer.jpg caption="Sr. Writer Tom Evans"]
Tonight on AMANPOUR., we focus on one of the most intractable wars of our time, the struggle between Palestinians and Israelis over land, the Holy Land. The past 60 years have seen violence and uprising in the Middle East, interrupted only briefly by moments of hope. U.S. President Obama began his administration by appointing a high profile envoy and promising to break the log jam, but ten months later it's still deadlocked and the peace process is stuck in the sand and there’s a danger extremists on both sides will fill the diplomatic vacuum. We will be looking at this dilemma with two unusual voices, Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. diplomat who served six U.S. Secretaries of State. And Amira Hass, of the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, whose title is “correspondent in the occupied lands.” There are other stories in the news today. So as always, I am offering some perspectives on some stories that resonate way beyond the headlines.
Tom Evans
Sr. Writer, AMANPOUR.
AFGHANISTAN REINFORCEMENTS – How deep are the divisions in the Obama Administration?
– Pres. Obama, on visit to Tokyo, promises transparent decision soon on Afghan troop reinforcements
– Promise comes amid reports of deep divisions among officials about whether to send extra troops to Afghanistan and if so, how many
– UK Prime Minister Brown, who’s offered an extra 500 troops, said NATO nations other than U.S. might send 5,000 reinforcements
– Germany today said it will send 100 extra troops to northern Afghanistan, an area where fighting is far less intense than areas where U.S. and U.K. troops are fighting
QUESTION: How come European members of NATO, with so many men under arms, cannot deploy tens of thousands of extra troops to Afghanistan: is it a question of political will, outdated military structures, or both?
PAKISTAN – How successful is the Pakistani military offensive into South Waziristan?
– pair of bombings in Afghanistan kill at least 17 people, 10 of them in massive blast outside intelligence headquarters in the city of Peshawar
– Seven intelligence officials were among the dead. Dozens were wounded
– Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was once believed to be closely allied with the Taliban and had links with Al Qaeda
– Today’s bombings come as Pakistani army claims to be making good progress in its offensive against Taliban in its stronghold of South Waziristan
QUESTION: What more can the United States do to help Pakistan in its offensive against the Taliban?
9/11 DETAINEES – Will civilian trial for detainees linked to 9/11 attacks be successful?
– U.S. to announce today that 5 Guantanamo Bay detainees, among them alleged mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be tried in New York in a civilian court
– Their trial will be held in lower Manhattan, near the site of the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed in 2001
– Decision represents a clear break from using military commissions to try detainees
– Obama Administration trying to close Guantanamo Bay military prison, which still has 215 detainees, amid hostile public reaction to transfer of prisoners to facilities in the U.S.
QUESTION: Will the announcement of a civilian trial for 9/11 detainees help or hinder the Obama Administration’s promise to close down the Guantanamo Bay military prison by January 22 next year?

To: Christiane Amanpour: When you married your husband (who is a Jew) did u have to convert to Judaism. I am not sure what you were to begin with. I would just like to know because it has a lot of bearing on what is happening and which side you are taking.
Speaking of “Why radical Islam?”, I may have missed it but to date I have heard no mention on your program of inefficient, corrupt and repressive Arab governments which do not permit legitimate critique from their subjects or the establishment of a political opposition worth its name. It appears to be a historical fact that people turn to religion in larger numbers when they have no ways of voicing their grievances, and that, by the same token, their religions become both more entrenched and radicalized.
If many Arabs are ashamed and feel inferior to Westerners, surely that must have something to do with their inept governments which have acted as an all too efficient brake on social and economic development consistent with the potential of their countries’ populations. This is where their sense of inferiority has its roots.
Scapegoats have been known since time immemorial and a handy excuse to divert the ire of unhappy populations. And what better scapegoat than the well-fed, well-heeled and self-satisfied Westerners who, on top of everything else, happen to live in free and prosperous societies based on the rule of law?
If Amanpour's bias in the israeli -Palestinian question was never more clear than it was today when she left unchallenged the statement by Haas that Israel is responsible for Hamas' behavior toward its own people in Gaza... that "Israel wrote the script for Hamas..." This statement is outrageous – and should have been challenged by any responsible journalist!
