Condileeza Rice Negotiating With Terrorists?

Rice Presses Maliki on Eve Of Conference on Iraq Aid

Quote from the article:
Much of the attention surrounding the two-day gathering of nearly 60 governments has focused on whether Rice will meet with her counterparts from Syria and Iran, who are also attending. Rice said early Wednesday that she "wouldn't rule out" a meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem.

Now these are the people that were labelled terrorists when Nancy Pelosi, went there, following a Republican committee trip to Syria.

So not only are Republican Senators and Congressmen cutting deals and making plans to work with terrorists, but th White House is going work with terrorists too!

Is the White House working both sides of this war?
