SEC. RICE MEETS WITH PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS

Secretary Rice Meets Palestinian Terrorists (LGF)
So much for the US holding the line against “negotiations” with terrorists. Yesterday Condoleezza Rice met with leaders of the Fatah terror wing, Tanzim (a group that includes the suicide-bombing Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades), on the same day she met with murderous thugs Mohammed Dahlan and Yasser Abed Rabbo: Rice calls for an end to fighting in PA during Middle East tour.

Joshuapundit lists just a few of the hideous acts of mass murder perpetrated by Tanzim and their partners. He’s mad at Condi Rice, and I don’t blame him. Yes, I know she’s a diplomat and her job is to talk, sometimes even to thugs and their representatives, but this just turns my stomach.

Of course, as Arlene Kushner writes on the National Review Online, Fatah itself is a terrorist organization, with the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades acting as its armed wing.

Over time, however, fairly irrefutable proof emerged that Al Aqsa was linked to Fatah:

In 2002, Brigades leader Maslama Thabet declared. "The truth is, we are Fatah itself, but we don't operate under the name Fatah. We are the armed wing of the organization. We receive our instructions from Fatah."
