The Trouble with Talking to Hamas -Lee Smith
Next week Jimmy Carter is headed to Damascus to speak with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. Meshaal is the man who calls the shots.
[But] Meshaal gets his marching orders from Tehran, which means that the former American president, during whose tenure the U.S. lost a pillar of its Persian Gulf security strategy to the Khomeinist revolution, will effectively be talking to a representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[T]he 1978 Camp David accords, and the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt is the one foreign policy achievement the Carter White House can point to with pride. Hamas [plans] to force Cairo into a situation that would lead to it breaking the treaty with Israel. Jimmy Carter will be sitting down with [the man who] is plotting to turn his legacy into dust.

One of the pillars of Israeli security and stability in the Middle East is the 1979 peace treaty with Egypt. Hamas and the Islamists must not be allowed to remove that cornerstone.

UPDATE:
Gov't against Carter, Mashaal meeting -Gil Hoffman
Rep. Mark Kirk (Illinois) pleaded with Carter from the floor of the US House of Representatives not to meet with Mashaal, who he said was responsible for the murders of at least 26 Americans.
"President Carter, the voices from the grave beseech you - do not meet with the man who ordered the murder of these American citizens," Kirk said.
