The NY Post's Countdown to Gaza Fiend's Destruction has some background on the operation to get the odious Sheik Yassin, but here's the part I liked best:
The clock that measured Yassin's final hours actually began last Tuesday when Sharon's defense Cabinet met to decide how to respond to an attack by two Hamas bombers that left 10 Israelis dead in Ashdod. The members considered destroying nearly all of Yasser Arafat's compound in Ramallah, leaving him confined to one room and a shower, but military officials objected.How cool would that be? The only thing cooler would be to then make the room disappear.
