| CAIR trains FBI in 'sensitivity' |
| 2004-12-02 |
| EFL & The Obvious FBI counter-terrorism agents in Florida attended a "sensitivity training" workshop yesterday conducted by a controversial Islamic lobby group. How controversial are they? Although it has been described by two former FBI counter-terrorism chiefs as a spin-off of a U.S. front for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, led the workshop on "Islam and the American Muslim community" at the FBI's Jacksonville Division All Employee Conference. They're not controversial, are they? Just an advocacy group, correct? |

| #6 As foolish as it all seems on the surface, I'll be optimistic and file this as: KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES EVEN CLOSER |

| #5 It's technically not a sting if they know you're there. |

| #4 It's a sting operation. CAIR will be doing these all over the U.S., then one day they'll all get cuffed. |

| #3 hey, if CAIR is willing to let the FBI into their training organization then I think the FBI should definately take the opportunity. What would you really be risking? Two agents have their faces associated with the FBI, since they're not going to be undercover agents it doesn't matter. The FBI gets a bit of a better feel for the organization, gets to understand their public rhetoric a little better, and can pull the "CAIR" card later when questioned on what efforts they have made to understand the U.S. Muslim community. CAIR probably figures they can be less scrutinized if they are more open and proactive about it. It's a good strategy, regardless of their intentions. It would work out for them both ways. -DS |

| #2 I'm thinking this is a good thing: "Do I handcuff the right or left hand first?" "Did I push his turban down enough to clear the roof when putting him in the back of the patrol car?" these questions require sensitivity |

| #1 Everybody with a job gets sent to one of these "sensitivity" things every once in awhile. A feel good idea for some idiot bureaucrat and an easy day at the office for the troops. In one ear and out the other. |
