I've Been Thinking:

On Wednesday a Palestinian military court convicted a Palestinian security officer of collaborating with Israel.
The court sentenced the security officer to be executed by firing squad.
The crime was helping Israel arrest 3 terrorists in 2002 in a refugee camp near Bethlehem.

Here is the problem.
Israeli is pursuing peace with the Palestinians.
This person was helping capture terrorists that the Palestinians were supposed to capture.
He is being executed for helping the Israelis do what the Palestinians were supposed to do in the first place.

In a previous case, one similar to this, the United States interceded.
Condi Rice asked President Abbas not to sign the writ of execution.
I would hope that, once again, calmer heads prevail.
