#1 Well far be it from the media to expose top secret plans.

#3 Any chance of this beeing played up by the network news? During the campaign the media downplayed and ridiculed McCain's accusations that Obama's folks were talking with Hamas. Seems they did more than just talk.

The only reference of CBS news wesite, buried in another story about a chat w/ the Russians:
On another international matter, Obama's office had little to say in response to a statement by Khaled Mashaal, leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, that he is ready to talk to Obama "with an open mind." The exiled militant leader told Sky News from Damascus, Syria, that the election of an American president with African roots is "a big change."

McDonough said, "President-elect Obama said throughout the campaign that he will only talk with Hamas if it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel's right to exist, and agrees to abide by past agreements."

That's one campaign promise already broke to hell.

#4 Aren't there laws to prevent this kind of stuff from happening? I mean it sounds like his aides were conducting foreign policy to a certain degree without the approval and authority of the POTUS. What's up with that?

#5 C'mon, eltoroverde, you know The One doesn't have to abide by US laws. He's a DEMOCRAT, for crying out loud. Anything goes for Democrats. Just look at all the voter fraud they've committed over the last 20 years, and still engage in.

(May all guilty parties rot in Hell for 10 eons, THEN let the Devil get mean with them.)

#6 IIRC, FOX NEWS > ISLAMISTS [Osama BIn Laden?] MAY BE PLANNING FOR NEW ATTACK(S) ON USA "BIGGER" THAN 9-11.
