"But when he unfolded a map that showed a Palestinian state made up of several unconnected cantons surrounded by Israeli troops, Arafat walked away."

The simple fact is, he did. Mike Shuster's report is accurate.

The NPR piece says this about Arafat:

Walked away from Camp David negotiations in 2000

He did not 'walk away' from the Camp David negotiations. He may have walked away from someone during a particular conversation, but that is hardly the same thing as walking away from the negotiations. And anyone who would use that kind of misleading wording has a hidden agenda.

But that's not the subject of this thread.
