I have no idea, Cachelot. CAIR are perhaps the guy's only option to get the issue into the popular conscience.
Am I right in guessing SS agents can't talk to the press?
Probably. Which makes it even more odd that an SS agent should talk to an organization associated with known terrorist groups.
What I suspect (but can't prove) is that this was a CAIR initiated op in the first place, designed to start a process leading to an easing of the American security measures implemented after 911.
