#1 CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association For Palestine, a group identified by two former FBI counter-terrorism chiefs as a U.S. front group for the terrorist group Hamas.

Since 9-11, CAIR has seen three of its former employees indicted on federal terrorism charges.

#2 This is IMHO what is wrong with the FBI's mentality. They value gaining information more than they value doing something with that information to stop the crimes they are observing.

It's like having complex weather model that just generates great information about all things weather and then using that information to even more complex weather models but having no way to do anything except share it among themselves. Hey look, it's a Giant Tsunami - quick - let's get some more data for research. Call someone? Call who?

I watched Blow, and it occurred to me that had they stopped the flow of cocaine early on, before the street/college campus distribution networks all got established and it became "popular" the cocaine rage probably would not have happened. But the FBI just watches the little guys for YEARS and YEARS, learning everything about The Big Fish(TM). But by the time they take down The Big Fish(TM) - the market and distribution channels are all there - so it's too late. There are now plenty of fish to take his place.

So to get back to my original point...why do we only hear from former FBI agents that CAIR is a terrorist organization? Why aren't they making this clear to all of us NOW!! Why don't they clean house NOW! But just like in the movie blow, Blow - and all other matters FBI - they will just keep collecting more and more information as the organizations they are watching grow right before their eyes. The key word being GROW.

It's just like observing a tumor for 5 years to see where it spreads.

#4 2b, Shipman,

The FBI is engaging in 'job security' just like all the politicians who claim to fight the 'war on drugs' but keep the borders open and dont do any thing because if they really did something, and won the war, they would not have such an easy political issue to wave around - people might become concerned about other things like political corruption or elections or real fiance reform.

Reminds me of the UN.

#7 Observations for CF, heh...

The purpose of the FBI, from the middle management up, is to stand before a bank of microphones and a throng of media and announce the breaking of a crime syndicate. Seizures (of whatever) are good - nice pictures with everything arranged to magnify the quantity - and street values, where applicable, always sound impressive. This is the dream moment. The career maker / breaker. Look determined, resolved, not necessarily tough. Look professional, competent, buttoned down, corporate. Use the Royal "we", but hey, baby, it's ME in front of the mikes, heh. Thank the little people, the ones who actually did whatever it is you're taking credit for, but don't dwell on it. Push the rope - credit your superiors, the Director, the Atty Gen'l, the President for their vision, with an unspoken but unmistakable conclusion that giving you this chance, this opportunity, this power, this authority, was wise, indeed.

The rest of the FBI solves crimes, after the fact, works hard and tries to coordinate with the locals - where their superiors haven't made that impossible by their sheer arrogance and historical shameless glory-hounding.

#8 Terrorists that want to blow us up are Muslims.
Sure there are other terror groups which exist and you will always have nutbags like Timothy Mcveigh. But the plain whole truth is Terrorists in the real world and Hollywood who hate us and want our total destruction (men, women, children)
are Muslim. The hell with CAIR. As far as Im concerned they need to take their unCAIRing asses
and go back where they came from. The truth hurts sometime and if they really CARED, they along with other so called caring Muslim groups would do more to rid the world of Muslim Fundamentalism which they claim give Muslims a bad name.

#9 "He also was reported to have said Islam is not in America to be equal to any other religion but to be dominant."

So much for tolerance.

Ooops toooo late. The alarm clock have struck and the current DOMINANT religion in the U.S is fully awake, NEVER to sleep again. In other words, we know your game. Also BTW, over my dead body, you bunch of terrorist pagan lowlifes.

#10 for CAIR the jig may be just about up

If Fox can successfully send the CAIR propaganda pieces to affiliates for 3am airing, it opens the door to genuine reporting on CAIR's terrorist connections.

#12 Maybe the Council for American German Relations should protest whenever a movie about WW2 is aired -- those films and documentaries might cause somebody to have bad feelings about Germans.
