Are you one of those people who believe it tater?

Nah, I think they should stop lying and simply kill them.

That said, there is a diplomatic difference between talking on the sly, and doing so openly. The latter raises the organization in question, and hence sends a different message.

Such conversations should not be held "in the open" as it gives the terrorists a standing they do not deserve. Diplomacy is all about such subtlety of detail (even if galling to people in "plain english.")
