IDF officer: removing more roadblocks means rockets in West Bank; PA not fighting terrorists - just local crime

[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA:

Israel Radio Carmella Menashe's report this morning did not even get mention
in the half hour recap immediately after it, nor in the hourly news reports
that followed.

While the report certainly is relevant for coverage of Secretary of State
Rice's visit - since Rice is pressing Israel to remove more roadblocks - for
some reason the news editors decided not to "connect the dots" and mention
this consideration in the coverage of the Rice visit. The issue apparently
was not also subject to any follow up questions to various relevant
politicians and officials in the morning programs.]

IDF officers warn against West Bank roadblock removal

The removal of West Bank roadblocks will lead to the fire of high-trajectory
weapons from the territory at Israel and to an enhancement of terror groups'
capabilities, IDF officers have warned.

A senior IDF officer told Israel Radio on Sunday that the Palestinian
Authority policemen who had recently deployed in Jenin were not dealing with
security or confronting Hamas but were merely maintaining law and order.

A defense official said that even though the PA policemen were operating
better that in the past, there was no justice establishment or prison cells
to hold terror suspects, who were released quickly in a "revolving door"
policy.
