Terrorist group says campaign asked it to keep contact secret until after election

JERUSALEM – Hamas held a meeting in the Gaza Strip several months ago with aides to President-elect Barack Obama, but the terror group was asked to keep the contacts secret until after last week's elections, according to a senior Hamas official.

Ahmed Yousef, Hamas' chief political adviser in Gaza, told the leading Al-Hayat Arabic-language newspaper Hamas has maintained regular communication with Obama aides that even continued during the past week.

"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf told Al-Hayat.

Yousuf said Hamas's contact with Obama's advisers was ongoing, adding that relations were maintained after Obama's electoral victory last Tuesday.

Yousef could not be reached by WND for immediate comment. It wasn't clear which Obama aides Hamas is claiming to have met in Gaza. Obama's transition team did not immediately respond to a WND e-mail and phone message requesting comment.

Obama's senior foreign policy adviser, Denis McDonough, told the Jerusalem Post today, "This assertion is just plain false."

Isn't this against the law (the Logan Act)?

How many times does the Logan Act need to be violated by Democrats before SOMEONE at Justice DOES something about it!

If you had money on Israel doing some serious military action on some Islamic state before Obama-Guration on Jan 20...you are probably going to be a winner....after this announcement

Yup:

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.

'Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects'.

1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

And those limp wangs in Washington will let The Magic Negro get away with it.

Hmmm... the liars in Hamas don’t have to spend time trying to fool the American electorate, so I’ll believe them before Obamuhammed abu al-Baracki.

[ScottinVA]

Obama is not to be investigated or doubted, so no amount of noise about this will matter anyway.

All of the readers here who think this is real news, please raise your hands......

Don’t forget the ‘fireworks’ display that Hamas used to celebrate B. Hussein Obama’s election - 35 missiles launched into Israel. The 74%-78% of American Jews that voted for B.Hussein O. should be REALLY proud of themselves along with the 54% of so-called Roman Catholics.

The Bush admin and GOP is simply too wimpy. This defines the entire 8 years of the Bush admin.
