#7 Man, these are spies. Theyre SUPPOSED to talk with all kinds of scummy types. They could be trying to turn somebody, get a mole, whatever. They could be using peace talks as cover. I dunno, Id wait to see what this means.

#8 The British Foreign Office - stocked with arabists - has sneered at American naivety in Iraq and Afghanistan for years now. What these jumped up classholes choose to forget is the British role in making Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt and especially "Saudi" Arabia the cesspits they are today. This latest move with MI6 can only be described as French.
