We Will not Negotiate with Terrorists

Liar! Rumsfeld has now admitted that we are meeting with terrorists. The significance of this is articulated here thusly:

Under pressure to show progress on Iraq, President Bush appears to be softening his once-firm line against dealing directly with insurgents - now willing to engage something besides military force, CBS News Correspondent Joie Chen reports.

I would have been a bit more aggressive with my choice of words, but you get the point.

The funny thing is that I was watching Rummy talk to some reporters on C-SPAN last night (not during an official press conference) and when a reported asked him about the reports of meetings which has initially appeared here his response was something like "Do you believe whatever you read in a British paper?". Idiot.
