Wow. AP has actually published one of those de rigeur stories showcasing an Arab and Israeli view on a subject and has explicitly rejected a moral equivalence between the two cases: Israelis, Palestinians doubtful on talks

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Mohammed Naji's son was killed by Israeli soldiers. Ron Kehrmann's daughter died at the hands of a Palestinian suicide bomber.

Beyond their grief, the two fathers share something else — both are skeptical next week's Mideast summit called by President Bush in Annapolis, Md., will do anything to end decades of conflict between their two peoples...

...Naji and Kehrmann lost their children in vastly different circumstances — and the deaths cannot be equated.

Naji's son, Abdel Moneim, was a militant who was targeted by an Israeli undercover unit in 2004. Kehrmann's daughter Tal was a 17-year-old girl killed four years ago while riding a bus on her way to shop for her high school graduation...

Maybe all those letters and phone calls actually do have an impact.

Nah, it is like one of these 24 hours flu attacks, it will pass...

Maybe............but I think not. This was just probably one of those errors that somehow got by the AP censors.....umm, I mean, EDITORS.
