"Yes, you can work with Hamas," insists Augustus Richard Norton of Boston University, along with Sara Roy of Harvard.

No surprise here. Norton, if you recall, recently wrote a book heaping praise on Hezbollah. Perhaps Norton will write something sunny about al-Qaeda next.

In the article with Roy, BU's terrorist coddling prof says there can be no peace process without Hamas. Funny, but last I checked, the Hamas charter says there can be no peace with Israel. Actually, it says "there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through jihad."
