Hamas has been claiming that they’ve held meetings with top US Democrat leaders; I’ve been skeptical.
But this outrage makes their claims easier to believe. (Hat tip: Snapped Shot.)

UPDATE at 12/13/06 9:39:35 am:
It isn’t just Bill Nelson. Meeting with America’s openly declared enemies is becoming de rigeur for Democrats: Blogmeister USA: Dodd Plans Talks With Middle East Leaders.
Connecticut’s other senator, Chris Dodd (D), is planning a trip to the Middle East to conduct what the Hartford Courant calls “his own Middle East peace talks.”
And, he’s bringing John Kerry with him. The two plan to talk to leaders in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel.
The subheadline to the above linked article says, “Kerry to Join Effort in Sensitive Territory.” If it’s sensitivity that Dodd wants, he may want to rethink his choice of traveling partner.
Call me cynical, but I find it somewhat pretentious when two senators, both with presidential ambitions, decide to travel to a highly unstable area of the world with the hopes that perhaps they can succeed where others with more qualifications for such activities have failed.
Oh, you didn’t know Chris Dodd was planning a run for president?
I don't know whether to say ugh, arghhh, or egads!
Look who is conducting his own foreign policy.
Why are these Senators allowed to go to our enemies anytime they feel like it? Don't they have work to do in the Senate?
"Look who is conducting his own foreign policy."
RATS are all alike.

Pulling crap like that should be grounds to expel them from the senate. Everyone in the Senate should give this yo-yo a desk job that involves knowing nothing other than how to tie one's shoes. Nelson has proven himself to be a completely hysterical and incompetent traitor. He can't be trusted with the delivery of chinese food for lunch...
