"You answer his telephone, you live in his hotel room, and yet you are still not Mr. Kaplan."

Israel, however, has chosen to treat the political members of Hezbollah as if they were fighters. - Salon, July 28, 2006
——
In a sign of the challenges ahead, Hezbollah ministers in the Lebanese government declared that they would reject the proposed resolution because it does not provide for immediate withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon.

"As long as one Israeli soldier is still on Lebanese soil, there will be no cease-fire," Mohammed Freish, electricity and hydraulic power minister, said as he entered an emergency cabinet meeting in Beirut to discuss the resolution. - Washington Post, August 5, 2006
If I didn't know better from reading Salon, I might conclude that the "political members" really aren't entirely separate from the "fighters" after all. Indeed, it seems as if maybe Mohammed Freish should be reading Salon.

(Yes, I realize he actually wasn't Mr. Kaplan—Whoops!—but I can rarely pass up any chance to quote North By Northwest.)
