Negotiating with the Taliban

Charles Adler, in Tuesday's 'Full Comment' blog, lets us know how he feels about Toronto Star columnist Thomas Walkom supporting Jack Layton's enthusiasm for negotiating with the Taliban:

Taliban Jack is no doubt a happy camper. His foolishness has received respectability from the Liberal newspaper of choice. And to think that all it took to meet the Toronto Star's price for respectability were a few dollops of kidnapping, rape, murder and blackmail.

Good post and the comments are well worth a read too.
