Bobby Fischer FBI Files Released Under FOIA

An anonymous reader writes: "Philidelphia Inquirer has a stroy detailing the results of a FOIA request for chess great Bobby Fischer." Turns out they thought the anti-semitic chess grandmaster(and his mother) was a soviet spy.

"Palestine" has never been a nation, and you know it. Calling it a nation is like calling a random selection of MP3 on a script kiddie's computer a cross-section of popular music. Palestine was a name given to a land reduced to desolation after the fall of the Roman Empire, and there has never been a nation of Palestinians. If you'd bothered to look it up, the West Bank and Jordan were all part of a British mandate called "Trans-Jordan".

Palestinians are ARABS, they have always been ARABS and just because Arabs set up camp in a area and name themselves after it doesn't make it a nation. They're nothing more than squatters, and never did a thing to preserve or grow the area in culture or wealth. Samuel Clemens- who I'd dare to call an impartial observer in this case- bravely visited the area once and called it a desolate wasteland in need of people.
