Which is exactly the charge made against media, and government by one leading Islamic organization as far back as 1999 - posted right here on FR.
The same man made the charge then that 80 percent of the leadership in their places of worship were Wahhabis... but that those who worship in those places are not followers of Wahhabism... that fanaticism that is the declared enemy of our country. Interestingly the State Department ignored their own findings back then, and we know what that led to.
I think I resent that
I think Bush and his team are well aware of CAIR's connections and political biases. By going right into their lair Bush has effectively neutralized their ability to mobilize Islamic public opinion in this country against him. The old saying.."keep your enemies close.."
"Zev Chafets was born in Pontiac, Michigan, and moved to Israel in 1967. After active military service in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, he rose to the leadership of the Israeli Government Press Office under Menachim Begin. He is the author of several highly praised works of fiction and nonfiction. Currently a columnist for the Jerusalem Report, he is married to the journalist Lisa Beyer. They live with their children in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem."
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."
This article is about internal problems in America. Can't you put a lid on your animus toward Jews/Israel for one thread....and stick to the subject? Laughable.
How about Andrew Sullivan, Jake Tapper, Brit Hume and Daniel Pipes who also are on this story?

No conspiracy, but this guy is an ex-American and can't be thought to have our interests paramount in his mind.
