The response to this, of course, will be to give Fatah even more compromising information, as well as money and more -- which Hamas will then have a chance to seize in its next offensive. "Hamas to Show an Improved Hand: Organization Aims to Capitalize On Intelligence Gains From Gaza Takeover," by Cam Simpson and Neil King Jr. in the Wall Street Journal (thanks to Steve):
When the Islamist group Hamas conquered the Gaza Strip in June it seized an intelligence-and-military infrastructure created with U.S. help by the security chiefs of the Palestinian territory's former ruler.According to current and former Israeli intelligence officials, former U.S. intelligence personnel and Palestinian officials, Hamas has increased its inventory of arms since the takeover of Gaza and picked up technical expertise -- such as espionage techniques -- that could assist the group in its fight against Israel or Washington's Palestinian allies, the Fatah movement founded by Yasser Arafat.
Hamas leaders say they acquired thousands of paper files, computer records, videos, photographs and audio recordings containing valuable and potentially embarrassing intelligence information gathered by Fatah. For more than a decade, Fatah operated a vast intelligence network in Gaza established under the tutelage of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Hamas leaders are expected as early as tomorrow to go public with some of the documents and the secrets they hold.
By all means, let's give Fatah more weapons and money to shore up Abbas.

...the father of the modern islamist revolution.
I wonder how many State Department functionaries actually believe that we have "Washington's Palestinian allies, the Fatah movement founded by Yasser Arafat."
Nothing new there. Since 1969, the Criminal Imbecile Agency actively aided Palestinian, Hezbollah, al-Kifah, al-Qaida, KLA and other genocidal Jihad cults, selling out Israel and their own country to them. The more Americans did the jihadists kill, the more eagerly did the CIA aid them. If the CIA and the US State Department were in the official employ of the worst enemy nations in the world, they would have earned all the highest medals and awards from those nations. No foreign enemy can harm the United States as badly as do those two pockets of domestic enemies within the US government, heavily infested with sociopaths.

Now here is an issue the Democrats should be investigating.
Hamas, Fatwa, exbulla.. FAtah, Crappah.. WHUT da fook is the difference already??!!!

They drove us Germans out of many lands after WW2 and most of us knew better than complain [I wasn't alive yet but I've heard].
So if they can do it to us, and we can accept that as the price we had to pay for our past actions.. then the islamos WILL DAMN WELL HAVE TO ACCEPT A SIMILAR FATE, goddammitt!!

As much as they try when they write their hateful and phoney stories..
WE know who is the enemy of us all!!
Utter bullshit. If they had benefitted from the Fatah briefings they've ruined it for themselves, so it seems they're doing some psy-ops and propoganda.
But on the other hand, most jihadis don't seem to have enough common sense to stop themselves from soiling their own nest, so maybe they did have something of value for about a month. Leave it to them to self destruct. If cut off from anything else, they'll destroy anything of value. Remember the hydroponic farm equipment...
