Illegal Diplomacy Caution pure politics
No one has brought it up, and I've been waiting, I will do it myself.
'House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may well have committed a felony in traveling to Damascus this week, against the wishes of the president, to communicate on foreign-policy issues with Syrian President Bashar Assad. The administration isn't going to want to touch this political hot potato, nor should it become a partisan issue. Maybe special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, whose aggressive prosecution of Lewis Libby establishes his independence from White House influence, should be called back'. 'For Ms. Pelosi to flout the Constitution in these circumstances is not only shortsighted; it may well be a felony, as the Logan Act has been part of our criminal law for more than two centuries. Perhaps it is time to enforce the law'. http://opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110009908 |

Since we decided not to say anything controversial in here, I wasn't going to touch this with a 10 foot pole.....

According to diplomats and TV correspondents - who met the Syrian president personally - he is obviously really worth being talked to.
Of course this is diplomacy, something the current US President is obviously not really fond of - he prefers to push buttons instead which is surely less straining.  Let's see what a smart lady can do ... |
