A fair account of a likely Israeli strike in Sudan leads to a simultaneously troubling and heartening conclusion: the Sudanese government is incompetent and vulnerable. Two months after an attack, it has almost figured out what transpired.
Sudan's inability to quickly comprehend the strike suggests that the international community could intervene successfully in Darfur if it possessed the proper will.
The fairness with which Gordon and Gettleman treat Israel is evidenced by a statement and an enumeration of Israel's intelligence successes.
In the second paragraph G&G note that the attack was consistent "with other measures Israel had taken to secure its borders." Viewing the attack as an act of self-defense exhibits justness.
In the third to last paragraph, G&G provide a litany of instances in which Israeli intelligence enabled it to successfully defuse threats from abroad.
