My alternate reality: Mueller walks up and stands behind the podium, faces the American flag in the hall (was there one?), and says "and now ladies and gentlemen, please rise me and join in reciting the Pledge of Allegience, affirming that we hold our loyalty to the United States of America above every other consideration."

Wouldn't that have been a great way to kick off his speech?

Can a nation this stupid survive?

it seems we must learn the hard way ... not *us* of course, but there is a collective denial throughout our history ... we rise to the occasion always ... but in today's age, being reactive rather than proactive can cost us a lot ... and that's scary ...

Were does the Gubment find these dumb people?? Is he one of those "elite" Harvard/Yale wierdos??!

From Mueller's speech to the ADL:

Your support of hate crime and terrorist investigations, which are now front and center in the work of the FBI, is essential to us.  And the training and education you provide for the FBI and for law enforcement have never been more relevant.  That includes the conference on extremist and terrorist threats you are sponsoring later this month at the FBI Academy.  And it especially includes the classes at the Holocaust Museum that Abe and Jess helped arrange for our New Agents and for National Academy students. . .

THE FBI'S NEXT DISGRACE

No FBI director has ever broken bread with apologists for the murderers of Americans. J. Edgar Hoover, for all his faults, never addressed the German-American Bund or the American Communist Party.

But Robert Mueller III, unembarrassed by his bureau's string of intelligence failures, intends to deliver a lunch talk today to the American Muslim Council - a group with well-established links to supporters of anti-American terrorism.

Abdurahman Alamoudi, the AMC's executive director, has been strident in his support for the Hamas and Hezbollah terror gangs - both of which are on the U.S. government's list of terrorist groups.

Hezbollah, remember, is the ruthless Iranian-backed Islamic fundamentalist group responsible for the bombings that killed hundreds of Americans in Beirut in 1982, and which continues to bombard Israeli cities from its bases in Lebanon.

Alamoudi has also been a vehement defender of Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, the blind mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Another board member, Jamal Barzinji, has been investigated by federal authorities for links to al Qaeda.

The AMC was also a major fund-raiser for the Holy Land Foundation, a conduit for cash for Middle East Islamist terrorists that was recently shut down by the Bush administration.

If all this weren't bad enough, the fact that the AMC is the kind of organization that once had a cop-killer - Abudulla Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown - on its executive board should have given Mueller pause before he accepted an invitation.

By addressing the AMC's conference, Mueller discredits the FBI.

For shame.

FBI Director's Speech to American Muslim Council
"In addition, because we believe education is one of the best ways to prevent intolerance and discrimination, the FBI has developed a cultural diversity training program and a community outreach program. Since 1991, the FBI has conducted 728 training sessions on issues like diversity, sexual harassment, intercultural communication and equal employment opportunity. We instruct every new agent in cultural diversity, and include diversity training in the FBI management seminars. Ideally, these types of workshops should occur in every community. In fact, in Norfolk, the local Imams are currently working with our office to develop a program to help educate local law enforcement -- not just the FBI but the entire law enforcement community -- about the Muslim community. Through this effort, better relationships among the various communities can be cultivated and fostered. We must breakdown the fears and misunderstandings which develop from the unknown and that often form destructive stereotypes. No one, including the FBI, is served well by these portrayals, and law enforcement must never fall victim to them."

Feeling safer?

Criminalizing Dissent
"The FBI’s Project Megiddo, which warns against millennial terrorism, paints constitutionalists, devout Christians, hate groups, and militias with the same broad strokes.

Project Megiddo, the FBI’s "strategic assessment" of potential millennium-related domestic terrorism, represents a significant victory in the radical left’s "long march through the institutions" of U.S. law enforcement. The report, which was unveiled on November 2nd at a conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police at Charlotte, North Carolina, has been distributed to law enforcement agencies nationwide. While no author is mentioned in the publicly available version of Project Megiddo, its contents are largely indistinguishable from the materials generated by leftist "watchdog" organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which regularly furnish law enforcement agencies with lurid reports intended to catechize law enforcement agencies about the supposed threat posed by the "radical right."

...While the Megiddo report is clearly a product of the FBI’s counter-terrorism center, there are strong indications that the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training SLATT) program was involved as well. As THE NEW AMERICAN recently reported, SLATT is funded, through the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), by a grant from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The SLATT program is an outgrowth of the 1996 post-OKC bombing anti-terrorism act; its purpose is to provide "anti-terrorism preparedness training" to state and local police agencies, including "pre-incident awareness" training to help identify potential terrorist threats.

Documents obtained by THE NEW AMERICAN under a Freedom of Information Act request suggest that SLATT may have played a substantial role in composing Megiddo. IIR’s 1998 proposal for the "continuation and expansion" of the SLATT program states that the program’s main purposes include providing "state and local law enforcement … [with] a general awareness and working knowledge of domestic terrorist and ‘political’ extremist movements (including ideologies, illegal activities, tactics, and strategies), and provid[ing] an initial assessment of the threat potential posed by extremists...." The document refers to "individuals adhering to ‘patriot’ extremist or other domestic terrorist philosophies," indicating that, by SLATT’s definitions, those who espouse "extremist" views are ideational co-conspirators with those who commit crimes against persons or property.

Among SLATT’s purposes, according to the IIR’s grant proposal, are "early identification of extremist-generated illegal activities and tactics; recognition of extremist movements operating within a jurisdiction and lawful monitoring of such movements." It recommends the "establishment of an effective working relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the designated lead agency," and points out that "the SLATT Program and the many activities and tasks set forth herein are based on the continued participation of the FBI." In light of the FBI/SLATT relationship, it is significant that the "Background" section of the grant proposal reads very much like an early draft of Megiddo. That section asserts that "right-wing political and racist extremist groups have re-emerged [in recent years], mostly with new names, in somewhat different forms, and with variations in organization and differing tactics" than those used by previous groups in the 1980s. "Extremists" can be recognized, according to the SLATT grant proposal, as those who "identify with one or more of the following philosophies: anti-tax, anti-federal government, anti-state government, anti-authority, anti-world alliances, pro-racial purity, pro-white supremacy, anti-Semitic, and a fear of loss of Constitutional rights … with an equal fear of a one world order...."

In Phoenix, We're Terrorists!

Isn't it a war against RADICAL ISLAM? Or was there a subtext to Robert Mueller's address to the Al Qaeda groupies that I missed? In other words if Islam is not our enemy, who is? Mueller's remarks were unclear about just how the U.S government intends to fight terrorism if it doesn't have the foggiest idea of who its fighting. And what really takes the cake is the Bush Administration's granting legitimacy to a group Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson have labeled a front group for Islamist terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas. Way to go Mueller boy!!!

What kind of sheltered pantywaist life could Mule have led to make him think he can make friends with a froth-mouthed, wild-eyed lunatic animal that desperately wants to kill him and every other non-muslim on the planet? Is he a mule or an a$$? What the hell is wrong with this guy?
