According to MEMRI, another group from the Presbyterian Church (USA) has travelled to Lebanon and "interfaced" with Hizbullah.
Delegation spokesman Robert Worley said: "We do not wish to defend the U.S. administration. We all elected the Democratic Party against the Republican Party. Rest assured that we will return to the U.S. in order to continue our activity for peace, and we want to hear about the charity activities and the cultural and social activities organized by Hizbullah in south [Lebanon]. The Americans hear in the Western media that Hizbullah is a terrorist organization, and they do not hear any other opinion. They know nothing about the party's concern for the people of the south. We have suffered much pressure on the part of Jewish organizations in the U.S. because [of our help in] divesting corporations working with Israel. We want Jerusalem to be a united city, just as we encouraged the Palestinians and the Jews to work for peace, and we demanded that our administration adheres to this position."
Seems some folks have learned very little from events of a year ago.
A group of 9/11 victim's families also visited Hizbullah (see the same link), which is unfortunate, but there's no word of them saying anything like this.
