Pelosi to meet Assad
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Syria yesterday, leading a Congressional delegation on a trip that the White House has criticized as a mistake which could send the wrong signal.
Pelosi, who was met at Damascus airport by Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, is the highest-ranking American politician to visit Syria since relations began to deteriorate in 2003.
