April 2008??
The panel was set up in 2008, but people from Obama’s transition team were added in the fall of last year. If you read the thing, it’s obvious that the final meeting of this group was after Obama was elected, as he is mentioned as being the ‘new’ President. The question is who sent this islamist to take part in this panel?
The transition process takes about nine months, according to the document to which I linked in the post.
