B-bb-b-uu-u-utt-ttt ... as NYC WABC Radio's Richard Bey has recently said "Steve Emerson has an agenda!"

Yep ... Steve wants to take out the murderers. That's the agenda. Pretty damn good agenda, that.

al-Arian & his co-conspirators' arrest is a vindication of Steve Emerson. He nails it right on the head with these pararaphs:

Virtually every national Islamic "civil rights" group - created with the same guile that fostered the success of Al-Arian's organization - responded by claiming that we were "attacking Islam" and that we were stereotyping all Muslims. That pattern of obeisance to terrorism was repeated yesterday following issuance of the indictment.

Hiding under the patina of promoting Arab and Muslim rights, these groups gathered impressive supporters in the media, Congress and intelligentsia who jumped on to the "Al-Arian is the victim" refrain, further emboldening him to literally get away with murder.

The list of scoundrels who assiduously and systematically protected Al-Arian's terrorist enterprise included then-Rep. David Bonior, Martin Merzer of the Miami Herald, The St. Petersburg Times' Sue Aschoff and countless others.

Score one for Steve Emerson. It's graet to see that rat with his phoney smile behind bars. He was the clever one. THe quiet one who didn't rant and rave. He just plotted in private with the cover of being a tenured professor.

Even now nit-wit university profs are standing behind Al-Arian since they see this as an attack on tenure and academic freedom. What dolts. Talk about tunnel vision. Their efforts will blow up in their faces.
