In effect

Thanks to Tony for drawing our attention to the Erlanger article on Hamas and the end of the peace process. One could argue that Arafat knocked the peace process on the head in 2000. One could also observe that what Erlanger meant to write was that “[T]he “peace process” is in effect dead”, not that “[T]he “peace process” is effectively dead.”
