Unfortunately, yes, it appears as though they were not as innocent as they'd have the world believe. Which is disappointing, because it destroys their credibility, even on the issues where they are clearly in the right. The Palestinians need an ISM-type organization that is completely peaceful and has no ties with terrorism. Sit-ins and other peaceful public protest (what do they call it now, non-violent civil disobedience?) are a moral high-ground for effecting change (see Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, etc). But then they give refuge to a terrorist and they lose that moral high ground.
