Report: Obama advisors have been meeting with Iran, Syria since before the election
Hot Air Blog Archive Report: Obama advisors have been meeting with Iran, Syria since before the election


Quote:
[E]ven before winning the November 4 election, Obama unofficially used what experts call “track two” discussions to approach America’s two foes in the region.


Nuclear non-proliferation experts had several “very, very high-level” contacts in the last few months with Iranian leaders, said Jeffrey Boutwell, executive director for the US branch of the Pugwash group, an international organization of scientists which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.


Former defense secretary William Perry, who served in Obama’s election campaign, participated in some of these meetings focused on “a wide range of issues that separate Iran from the West: not only their nuclear program but the Middle East peace process, Persian Gulf issues,” Boutwell told AFP.


The Pugwash official declined to name the other participants, except to say they had considerable clout.

Isn't this in violation of the Logan Act?

It has to be a violation, but get a court to agree.

It's had to take a sitting president seriously when others are conferencing with the enemy.

I am not suprised.

Obama doesn't want international problems to interfere with his domestic agenda. So he is moving to appease those folks so he can concentrate on his massive changes here at home.

Nobody has "ever" been prosecuted under the act, that and I think there is some constitutionality questions with the act.

Punishment under the Logan Act is at most 3 years. I also don't think you understand the Chaos that would happened if you executed Obama. At worst, Civil War
