CAIR falling under increased suspicion in official DC circles - NYT
... a debate rages behind the scenes in Washington about the group, commonly known as CAIR, its financing and its motives ...Behind the scenes? Maybe at the NYTimes, but the debate is out front & easy to find on the internet. Other aspects of the WOT are difficult to locate, but material on CAIR isn't. Except at the NYT. Government officials in Washington said they were not aware of any criminal investigation of the group. More than one described the standards used by critics to link CAIR to terrorism as akin to McCarthyism, essentially guilt by association. Of all the groups, there is probably more suspicion about CAIR, but when you ask people for cold hard facts, you get blank stares, said Michael Rolince, a retired F.B.I. official who directed counterterrorism in the Washington field office from 2002 to 2005. The cloud kicked up by the constant scrutiny is such that spokesmen at several federal agencies refused to comment about the group and some spoke only on the condition of anonymity. The cognitive dissonance in this article left my head spinning. Even the NYTimes couldn't whitewash this pile of manure. Posted by: Elmaick Spereck3663 2007-03-14 |
