Denis Ross, special adviser to Hillary on Mideast, writes in new book that the idea of linkage, the idea that progress to peace in Mideast is directly related to progress on Palestinian issue, is a load of nonsense. Not that that means Hillary shares his view, but I've been saying for a few weeks that I sense disunity in the Obama ranks [Obama has explicitly endorsed linkage] viz Iran/Palestine - a notion rather contemptuously dismissed by the Kool-aid drinkers. We'll see.
