(State Department) Secretary of State Powell said Wednesday, "We have made it clear to the Palestinian side that a cease-fire isn't enough. A cease-fire means that they retain their arms, they retain their capability. It may be a first step, but we are expecting the Palestinians to do more to remove the capability for terror that currently exists in these organizations.

But we do condemn the whole organization. You can't separate them out."
