Lebanon's fifth column?

Lebanon's defense minister discusses Lebanon's fifth column:

Lebanon's defense minister said Sunday any group breaking the cease-fire in southern Lebanon would be "decisively dealt with" and would be considered a traitor.

Defense Minister Elias Murr's comments apparently were to air concerns that factions other than Hizbullah, which he said is committed to the cease-fire, may attempt to draw Israeli retaliation by firing on the Jewish state.

"We consider that when the resistance (Hizbullah) is committed not to fire rockets, then any rocket that is fired from the Lebanese territory would be considered collaboration with Israel to provide a pretext (to Israel) to strike," he told a news conference at the Defense Ministry.

So what you're saying, Mr. Murr, is that when a "civilian" in the south pulls his motorbike over to the side of the road, pulls out a rocket launcher, and fires from next to a residential building, targeting innocent civilians, that it can't possibly be Hizb'allah, and is, in fact, an Israeli sympathizer? Pull my other leg.
