Former US President Carter meets Hamas leader

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"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.

Carter first met with the head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal, in April. That meeting drew sharp criticism from the Bush administration, which labels Hamas a terrorist group and contends such meetings give credibility to militants.

Carter said Saturday that he intends to continue meeting with Hamas because peace requires dialogue."
