You fail to see how obvious those two are different...and while we do not know the exact nature of the meetings, it does not take a highly intelligent person to figure out what topics were most likely on the agenda.
Yes, but information that wouldn't fly in a court of law shouldn't be used to explain US actions. Makes us look like we ran off all half-cocked (which we did) and now we're making up for it half-assed (which we are).

Right...we met with them before they became a terrorist organization. Funny how things change. We once fought wars against our biggest ally as well. Just like people countries change as well.
They were still a terrorist organization, the difference is we weren't the objects of the terrorism. Which is really the dividing line for "good" terrorists and "bad" terrorists in classic American thinking.
