Member of Egyptian terrorist group gets meeting with White House senior officials
By Jennifer Rubin
Eli Lake reports on the latest “politico fiasco” at the White House. Forget, for the moment, made-up executive privilege defenses and the serial leaking of intelligence secrets. How about inviting a member of an honest-to-evil terrorist group to the White House? Yup:

Included in [a visiting] delegation of Egyptian lawmakers was Hani Nour Eldin, who, in addition to being a newly elected member of parliament, is a member of the Gamaa Islamiya, or the Egyptian Islamic Group—a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. The group was banned under former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, and is now a recognized Islamist political party. Its spiritual leader, Omar Abdel Rahman—also known as the “blind sheik”—was convicted in 1995 of plotting attacks on New York City landmarks and transportation centers, and is serving a life sentence in a North Carolina federal prison.
What?!

This seems to be a monumental screw-up. Certainly, Eldin’s membership in Gamaa Islamiya (a designated terrorist group) should have raised a red flag and banned him from entering the United States, let alone snagging a meeting with high-level advisers. The State Department told Lake that Eldin was invited by the Wilson Center think tank. The Wilson Center said — you guessed it — the State Department invited him.

The man the OP is referring to is a current member of the Egyptian parliament.

Very meaningful picture. But remember, Reagan (and the western world) viewed the Taliban as freedom fighters at that time. You are right, though, circumstances certainly do change. And that picture? The perfect example!

Yes, when terrorists are attacking your enemy, you call them freedom fighters.

Because then you can pretend you aren't supplying weapons to terrorists.

Saddam didn't need to fly to Washington. He just snapped his fingers and Ronnie sent him chemical weapons, arms, and military advisors. GHWB, too.

This was during the Cold War. "The enemy of our enemy is our friend." *Shrug*

That is understood by everyone I think. What is at issue is that he's also a active leading member of a group currently on the terrorist list. Worse yet, the State Department invited him knowing that.

Saddam was our buddy man. We loved that guy till it was convenient for our political leadership to not.
 
Is it our policy to never talk to opposition? If it is, how the hell does one fix such a relation?

to be fair, he did have all those WMD's remember? We have the receipts from when we sold them to him.
