Harmful hints of a hand to Hamas - NYPOST.com

Harmful hints of a hand to Hamas - NYPOST.com: "Some of President Obama's friends are making quiet over tures to Hamas -- the terror ists who control Gaza. Even if this doesn't lead to an official dialogue, the administration's failure to distance itself from such efforts undermines US allies and US alliances.

A seasoned former US ambassador to Israel, Thomas Pickering, and a key member of Bill Clinton's team at the 2000 Camp David talks, Robert Malley, sat down in Zurich last summer with top Hamas politburo members, Osama Hamdan and Mahmud Zahar.

A classmate of Obama's at Harvard, Malley has long argued that Middle East diplomacy should include Hamas and Syria. He was an Obama adviser on Arab-Israeli issues in 2008 -- until the campaign had to sever ties in the wake of media attention to his regular meetings with Hamas leaders."
