| Prepare to be infuriated. It's been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department has brought Louay Safi to Fort Hood as an instructor, and that he has been lecturing on Islam to our troops in Fort Hood who are about to deploy to Afghanistan. Safi is a top official of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and served as research director at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). Worse, last evening, Safi was apparently permitted to present a check (evidently on behalf of ISNA) to the families of the victims of last month's Fort Hood massacre. A military source told the blogger Barbarossa at the Jawa Report: "This is nothing short of blood money. This is criminal and the Ft. Hood base commander should be fired right now." |

| #4 #1 is dead-on, although in fairness I don't think the SECDEF would approve unless US STATE + DHS, etc. approved = vouched for the Group. MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD = ally EGYPT??? |

| #3 Well, it appears we'll have to agree to disagree. I just cannot fathom anyone, Commander, III Corps and Fort Hood or anyone else setting this scenario in motion without a high level Pentagon thumbs up. |

| #2 Have to disagree B. The unique aspect of an effective American military is to allow your subordinates the ability to operate without a Mother-May-I command structure. However, when the 'command' blunders, you find other people to fill the post. This is the Tillman cover up Part Deux. It's time for some people to have their retirement papers in yesterday. |

| #1 Somebody at Fort Hood Should Be Walking the Plank NO! The SECDEF should be Walking the Plank! This would NEVER have been approved without Gates and Barry being directly involved. It is simply too hot a topic. |
