Just something kinda interesting:

Syria Shut Offices of Palestinian Groups U.S. Labels Terrorists, Powell Says

Powell specifically mentioned three groups -- the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas; Palestinian Islamic Jihad; and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command -- in his conversation with Assad, according to a senior State Department official who briefed reporters on Powell's plane. When assured that the groups' Damascus offices had been closed shortly before his trip, Powell pressed "to be sure it was a permanent closure and not a reincarnation three days later with another name and another location," the official said. "We got that clear and direct."

Report: Lebanon Rebuffs Powell's Call

Meanwhile, the Lebanon-based representative of the militant Palestinian Islamic Jihad group discounted Powell's assertion that neighboring Syria had begun closing offices of groups like Islamic Jihad and Hamas, classified by Washington as terrorist organizations.

Well, which is it?
