Fearing charges of religious persecution, the FBI for years has hesitated to investigate radical Islamic clerics in the United States despite evidence that their mosques have been used to recruit and fund suspected terrorists, present and former law enforcement officials said.

Why do the good people of FR, with keen minds and vast experience with the press, believe this article? Who's the Clinton FBI mole who keeps spreading such bilge. As Donald Rumsfeld would say ...the journalist and the "source" are both thumbsuckers.

It's all a lie. They went after the blind Sheikh Rahman in 1992-93, attempting to set him up in bombing plot stings.

Seems like everyone except the FBI knows that the muslin "religion" is a CULT. We will have to get Janet Reno back and tell her they are just like Branch Davidians and to do her stuff.

That's exactly why we need a fearless leader to do what's right, no matter what... I believe GW is that man, and I will support him no matter what the rest of the handwringers quibble about!!
