Hillary's Superdelegates, Buddy-Buddy With Saddam And FARC
Senator Clinton, just to be clear...
One of your superdelegates, Rep. Michael Thompson of California, traveled to Iraq on Saddam Hussein's dime before the Iraq War to denounce American policy and the President, live from Baghdad on national television.
Another one of your superdelegates, Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, sent an emissary to meet with FARC terrorists in Columbia. This is the same group that has taken hostages and that captured documents indicate was being supported by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and was seeking uranium to build a dirty bomb.
(Oh, captured documents, as well as 66 pounds of uranium captured from a FARC stronghold. I'm fascinated by this sentence in the news story: "It is being examined by government experts, the defense ministry said in a statement, although it did not say where the material came from or what it could be used for." Guy's, it's FARC. Unless Colombian Marxists have a newfound interest in researching methods to reduce greenhouse gases, I don't think it was just harmless energy research. Option A is building a dirty bomb; Option B is selling it to somebody else to build a dirty bomb. Hat tip to Ace.)
(McGovern's hometown paper, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, raps him on the knuckles here: "Negotiating with terrorists or hostage-takers, even with the best intentions, only encourages more of the same. Mr. McGovern correctly points out that it is “ludicrous” to suggest that caring about Americans and others kidnapped by FARC is tantamount to supporting FARC. By the same token, no good can come of fueling a perception on FARC’s part that it can use a member of the U.S. Congress to gain political leverage." Back in my States News Service days, I used to cover McGovern for that paper.)
Senator Clinton, have any other of your superdelegates sent emissaries to meet with foreign terrorist groups or accepted trips from dictators and/or foreign nations hostile to the United States?
