Former US President Carter meets Hamas leader again

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter met with the exiled leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas for the second time this year. Sunday's meeting in Damascus is part of Carter's regional discussions on Middle East conflicts. Hamas officials kept reporters away from the venue and no news conference was scheduled. Hamas issued a statement but provided no details about what they talked about.

Note EU-Digest: President elect Barack Obama must have given his agreement for this meeting, although his staff said they were not involved.Whatever is said, this is the way diplomacy needs to be carried out.
