Hesham Islam's 'resume didn't add up,' official says
In a stunning turn of events, a high-level Muslim military aide blamed for costing an intelligence contractor his job will step down from his own Pentagon post, WND has learned.
Meanwhile, his rival, Maj. Stephen Coughlin, a leading authority on Islamic war doctrine, may stay in the Pentagon, moving from the office of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the office of the secretary of defense. However, sources say a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey is trying to block his new contract.
The top Pentagon aide, Egyptian-born Hesham H. Islam, came under a cloud of suspicion after reports raised doubt about his resume and contacts he had made with radical Muslims. He is expected to leave the government next month, officials say.
Islam and Coughlin recently quarreled over intelligence briefings Coughlin presented showing a close connection between the religion of Islam and terrorism. Coughlin's contract with the Joint Chiefs, which ends in March, was not renewed.

First class Chump, Gordon England, should be fired, too.
He bought Islam’s entire schtick, every last word.

The war is against Islam people, not just terrorism.

I don't get it. How does a "contractor" hold rank? Or, how do officers in the military receive "contracts"? It would all make sense (to me) if the word "contract" were replaced with the word "assignment."

Maybe our criticism of this scenario has actually produced some level headed thinking in the DOD?
Loyalty to any enemy philosophy is a dangerous omission of security. A top ranking Muslim in the Pentagon has to raise some questions about where his loyalty actually lays.

How does something like this happen? If the resume was fishy then why was it not checked out? Are these people Clinton holdovers? God help us.

Statments made by Gordon in a previous article give me the impression he's gay.

The Pentagon is filled with plenty who shouldn’t be there. As far as Islam and others like him, President Bush has been just as naive/clueless as Clinton was as to determining good Muslim/bad Muslim.
