It is no wonder to me anymore why our intelligence fails us. Political correctness and cozying up to Islam is doing tying our hands and rendering us ineffective. Not to mention hostility to national security and defense from the left.

[Jeff Chandler]

This just goes to show how far the FBI has fallen under Bush. (What? This happened under Clinton's watch? Well, how was I supposed to know that?!).

[coloradan]

Yet another failure from the Federal Bureau of Incompetence.

"He wouldn't have any problems interviewing or recording somebody who wasn't a Muslim, but he could never record another Muslim," said Vincent.

Sounds like someone doesn't take their oath to protect this country to seriously.

It's absolutely unbelievable how much Clinton screwed up our country. Bush needs to clean house top to bottom. US Attorneys, FBI and CIA managers, a total review on field agents hired in the last 10 years, and so on. A COMPLETE PURGE. Fire the US Attorneys first.

[wafflehouse]

duh, which way did he go george?

[Edward Watson]

I would like to say I am speechless with rage at the toadying up to Islam of various US government agencies but since I'm a Canadian, and whose government is even WORSE at kissing Islam's posterior - I'm just going to shut up before I get blacklisted from entering the US just because I love it and what it stands for too much.

BTTT...This article is unbelievable...God must truly love America to let us survive such treachery!

[F16Fighter]

The day treasonous behavior is rewarded by U.S. law enforcement with a promotion, is the day we begin taking seriously how close we are to sticking a fork in the Republic.

Muslims will NEVER be true Americans.

Heard it before a lot but....ABC??????????????

The worse is yet to come, mark my words.

America will pay a heavy price for blindly allowing this dangerous idealogy disguised as a religion to proliferate.

I agree with you.

But on Dec. 6, U.S. Customs agents, as part of their own investigation, conducted a midnight search of a Boston-area company believed to be secretly owned and controlled by al-Kadi.

The company provides computer software to the FBI and other key federal agencies, which means al-Kadi and his employees could have had access to some of the government's most sensitive secrets.

Al-Kadi is on the U.S. government's "dirty dozen" list of leading terror financiers being investigated by the CIA. The federal government says it is pursuing possible criminal charges.

How wonderful. A guy who finances Al Qaeda is selling software to the FBI. I suppose his employees have to provide technical support for the software to the FBI from time to time? "This is the Help Desk. Just say yes when the dialogue box pops up and asks if you will let someone else take control of your computer."

America will pay a heavy price for actively promoting and supporting Islamic fundamentalism during the 1980s.

A major news outlet has reported that a federal law-enforcement officer literally refused to perform his duties because the object of them was a co-religionist -- a Muslim, of course. Do we really need any more reasons to distrust Muslims?

FBI higher-ups have mounted a defense of the treasonous agent, as if there could be anything more important to an FBI agent than his sworn duty to investigate suspected federal criminals and pursue the perpetrators of federal offenses. Do we really need any more reasons why the FBI needs to be gutted and rebuilt from scratch?

The Clinton Administration, with the connivance of Congressional oversight bodies, actively composed the farce we currently suffer in Federal law enforcement, and used it to kill dozens of innocent religious cultists and the family of an innocent, albeit eccentric, Idaho mountain man. Do we really need any more reasons to distrust the Democratic Party?

The Bush Administration has made little headway in reforming the mess in the FBI. Indications are that that particular rat's nest isn't high on its list of priorities, though the FBI is the nation's foremost counterespionage agency and a key link in the chain of defense against terrorism. I'd like to trust the Republicans, as not many alternatives remain... but given this, the airport-security gestapo, and the anti-constitutional provisions of the Patriot Act, it's getting harder all the time.

Could we have some action on this, Dubya? Soon, please?

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

Too bad Wright didn't get picked as a Time Magazine person of the year. He blew his whistle and nobody cared. Hell, from the looks of it, they still don't care!

After reading the entire article, it's still not clear exactly when Abdel-Hafiz was promoted. ???????
