		Evidence of the abusive conditions in the camp could also be smelled as a result of the deteriorating corpses, the urine and feces soiling the detainee’s clothes, the broken and overflowing toilets, the dysentery afflicting the detainees, and the inability of detainees to wash or bathe for weeks or months.

	"Detention camp," Mr. Ambassador?
		Last week you said that the West Bank and Gaza were in danger of becoming "the largest detention camp in the world." The characterization was made in your private meeting with Major-General Amos Gilad, Israeli coordinator of activities in the territories.
		To cavalierly use the word "detention camp," even in private conversation, is unjust, and feeds the irrational hatred of Israel that infects and infests many in your nation and in Europe.
		When it comes to "detention camps," after all, the British are among the world's all-time experts.
