Former President Carter to Meet with Hamas Chief
[Washington Post ] Glenn Kessler - Former president Jimmy Carter plans to meet next week in Damascus with Khaled Meshaal, the head of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, in a direct rebuke of the Bush administration's campaign to isolate it. No senior American representative, in or out of the government, has met with Hamas' leadership since it was named a terrorist group in the mid-1990s. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said, "United States Government policy is unchanged: Hamas is a terrorist organization. They can't have one foot in politics and one foot in terror."
