Top Obama donor and fundraiser Jodie Evans met with the Taliban in Afghanistan on a recent trip there, according to a report by Jane Fonda of a discussion she had with Evans last month. The meeting with the Taliban took place just weeks before Evans was videotaped directly handing to President Barack Obama a package of information about her trip to Afghanistan at a high dollar fundraiser in San Francisco.
The meeting with the Taliban was kept secret by Evans and her group Code Pink in reports she and the group posted from Kabul and in interviews with the media and bloggers about the trip. Fonda, a close friend of Evans, let the secret meeting slip in an account of her dinner with Evans at a fundraiser for the Armand Hammer Museum in Los Angeles:
Last Saturday, My dear friends Jodie Evans and Max Palevsky, invited Richard and me to join them at their table at a fundraiser at the Armand Hammer Museum in Westwood. It was a good evening for lots of reasons. I had never been to the museum and definitely want to go back. Clearly it is a courageous place, very cutting edge. Then, too, I saw lots of friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and I sat next to Jodie who told me a little about her recent trip to Afghanistan with an American delegation that included a retired colonel, and member the State Department (Army Reserves Col. (Ret.) and ex-diplomat Ann Wright). While there, she met with people ranging from the brother of President Karzai, Afghan members of Parliament, activists, to warlords and members of the Taliban (emphasis added.) Jodie is co-founder of the peace organization, Code Pink, and always willing to go to any lengths to try and find out what’s really going on. Bottom line: everyone she met with wants the U.S. Military out of their country. They feel our presence there has brought more violence rather than security. Please read a short article she wrote about the trip which is on the Women’s Media Center website.
There is precedent to suspect that Evans is acting as a conduit for the Taliban to Obama. In June, her fellow Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin hand carried a letter out of Gaza from the terrorist group Hamas addressed to Obama.
We're on a roll. Our articles have been picked up by Rush Limbaugh, the Wall Street Journal, Hot Air and many blog sites.
Still waiting for the White House press corps to wake up. One day...

So finding out that Obama's top female check bundler is meeting with the Taliban really isn't news ~ all we need here is what the relationships of the known characters are.
For all our warts, you can bet the WH has someone monitoruing FR 24/7. This is not unknown to them, but I'm sure they don't want it to go viral either.
Speechless.
Wonder if he wrote back?
Why,get my news here.
America now negotiates with terrorists. Next we’ll be bowing to them.
You really need a better catchy title. Good stuff nonetheless.
I refuse to!!!

"..Jodie Evans is a radical activist and Democratic fundraiser best known as the co-founder -- along with Diane Wilson, Global Exchange's Medea Benjamin, and a Wiccan calling herself Starhawk -- of Code Pink for Peace. Evans also works closely with Leslie Cagan, the pro-Castro leader of United For Peace and Justice..."
Code Pink’s “Sugar Mommy” – Jodie Evans
"..Ms. Evans is a very rich and powerful woman, thanks largely to her divorce settlement from the billionaire capitalist Max Palevsky in "common property" California..."
It would be utterly naive to think that the Obama administration doesn’t have direct contacts with the Taliban, and that sensitive information has not flowed over those links.
“Wonder if he wrote back?”
This is the first president to insist on a personal, private communications link not subject to the presidential records laws, his Blackberry.
What we need now is for someone to call for an investigation into why Obama is dithering on sending the additional troops to afghanistan and what if anything the Leftwing Liberal nuts at code pink have to do with this treason.
We are either at war or we aren’t. Our military cannot continue to fight on battlefields that our own CINC will not determine are war grounds.
If this is only an action against a criminal enterprise then INTERPOL needs to take over.
