| CAIR falling under increased suspicion in official DC circles - NYT |
| 2007-03-14 |
| ... 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. |

| #6 mac: I'd like to see the leadership of CAIR publicly flogged and then immediately deported to KSA. I'd like to see their assets seized and their asses deported to KSA. ('Scuse my French). |

| #2 CAIR kicks out CBN news, Christian Broadcasting Network [watch it in low Def or click on the screen, then after it starts, right click the screen and then click properties. then cut and paste the URL into the address bar for the High Def video. ] The last time I checked Pat Robertson contributed millions $$$ to the Katrina families who were devastated by that disaster. The last time I checked Pat Robertson's Ministries fed starving families in all over Africa. The last time I checked Pat Robertson's folks had never held anyone hostage or forced them to covert and become baptised a Christian. The last time I checked Pat Robert and the Christian Coalition never made a video of some trusted up victim having his head sawed off with a dull knife. Yea I know he shoots his f****** mouth off and makes an absolute fool of himself on occasions to where I've even yelled at the TV a time or two but... SO WHAT! |
