In all fairness, Fred, we do need to consider the context of the
meeting.  Obviously, it doesn't look good.  However, appearances
aren't everything.  The terrorists might have been interested in
defecting to the US.  If something like that was omitted, then readers
are misled - intentionally or not.  Not one word of the report at
Newsmax suggests what the meeting was about - just that it happened.

I was unable to find the quote referenced at Newsweek, but that
doesn't necessarily mean anything, either.  As some folks say, it'll
all come out in the wash.
