It's James Bamford, and from the little I know about him, I wouldn't take everything he writes at face value.

Not addressing your main point, but a tangential one. Yes, your characterization of the ICG is correct. One of its worst perpetrators of the anti-Israel bias, is a co-author of the report you're citing Robert Malley. He was on Albright's staff and represented the Palestinians at Camp David in 2000. It is largely his (skewed) account that was the source for Deborah Sontag's valedictory article as Mideast correspondent for the NY Times. I can't address any of the points here, but his dishonesty is legendary and I'd be very skeptical of taking anything he says seriously unless I knew it was corroborated by someone else.
