I really trust this kind of structure! NOT !!!!!!
Kewl !
What with all the top secret stuff that comes through their offices, I would think that this would be standard ops.
Or is it just "What the f..."?
lol...yes it is simply “WTF”, although in the context of this thread, may end up having something to do with needing medical assistance!
Seriously. People may look back at this someday in open mouthed astonishment: “The government let members of CAIR just go into meetings where detailed anti-terrorist strategy was discussed? Really?z’
darkwing104, I know this is WND, but...isn’t this on the record? Or maybe I am misinterpreting the BS meter...
Sad, isn’t it?
A Muslim congressman says there is no need to investigate interns who may be placed with members of strategic security committees by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
NO NEED WHATSOEVER!!
Also it is WND.
Better investigate the congressman
After having read Gary Aldrich’s book “Unlimited Access” about the Clinton White House and their approach to security, I just refuse to believe anyone who says the two parties are identical in their approach (btw...not saying you are saying that)
I don’t usually regard WND as a primary source, but allowing people with associations to CAIR to have high security clearance seems like a bad idea to me.
