 Did Obama Violate the Logan Act?

Is Obama Illegally and Improperly Interfering in U.S. Foreign Policy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act
Interfering with the United States in its diplomatic efforts is a Logan Act violation. Interfering with war policy treads on even more serious ground, especially since the primary motivation appears to be winning an election without regard to whether it damages our ability to fight the enemy or drives wedges between us and our ally, the elected, representative government in Baghdad.
Discuss
From McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann:
At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq's Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama's judgment and it demands an explanation.

I'll say this since I see neither sources as reliable AND REPUTABLE
I'd rather have someone like Obama than another Bush (McCain.)

McCain will probably die before he has a chance to see the elections.

The insults were to both myself and John McCain.
First the site you promoted is pure <pollution> - See Judis definition of insult. And Ozark thought I did not know the difference... OMG, then you added a statement labeling me a conservative and inferred my facts are incorrect, please show me the errors in my critical thinking so I can learn.

I made my statement since your reply seemed really serious, when IMHO it shouldn't have been. I was asking you to chill, not insulting your intelligence. Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_30

all wiki sites are potentially crap, because any idiot can change the information at any time. i never trust them unless i see the information verified from a reputable source.

It's all good, I was being sarcastic as anyone with half a brain would know "Uncyclopedia is a joke site..." And I was really never truly offended, as I am not sure if I am really a conservative in the traditional definition or varied. I also have pretty thick skin so to speak, and it takes a really direct and genious insult to rile me, plus considereing this is not a true debate forum but rather n00bfest, I take that into consideration.
I do not wish to spread lies, and if I see the source is the national enquire, star magazine or Us weekly <--- Joke, then I would not post it as even plausible. Furthermore, I did search harder and posted the link I felt debunked the rumor myself. Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_11
BTW, CBS and ABC both carried this article too.
I really wanted to set the tone with the statement that I wish this forum to be more truth and fact related, and not polluted with known farse and or attempts at vile humor.
A little dishonesty and distasteful humor is permitted within reason, after all, this is n00bfest... Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_02
Now to contradict myself just a little, I do think topics like Planet X, or HAARP earthquakes and 9/11 conspiracies would fit well in this forum, as long as they are unproven/unbiased with zeitgeist possibilties.
I will leave name calling allowed, as long as it does not cross the line. Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_19

The real reason I posted this particular artical and posed the question was to educate myself and others as to what the Logan Act is. I did not really think Obama violated it, hence my search to debunk it myself.
I will likely do something similar regarding the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Acts.
I will also likely start a thread regarding Youtube and Wiki being viable or unviable source information.
