| Klingons twitchy about designating MB as terror organization |
| 2017-02-10 |
| [PJ] The CIA has published an analysis claiming that designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization could "fuel extremism," Politico is reporting today. Quite conveniently, this internal CIA analysis found its way into the hands of Politico reporters. But oddly, the article fails to mention that the CIA and the U.S. intelligence community were directly involved in funding the experts who pushed the bogus "moderate Muslim Brotherhood" narrative beginning in the latter end of the Bush administration. This hand-wringing is in response to reports that the Trump administration is actively discussing such a designation. Don't neglect the comments. |

| #13 "Moderate" means they have degrees from the proper universities, sport bespoke suits with the ties correctly knotted, and are generous to their friends. |

| #10 The CIA has published an analysis claiming that designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization could "fuel extremism," This study is only valid for even days. For odd days, the opposite is true. |

| #7 If it helps, think of the CIA and Foggy Bottom as something akin to 'big pharma.' Curing the ailment is seldom the goal. |

| #6 I suspect the CIA is controlled by terrorist organizations as they claim anything the US does except rollover and die, increases extremism. Heaven forbid we actually fight back. |

| #5 I thought they were already designated as a terrorist group? The previous administration had them designated as fit to rule Egypt and hopefully Syria. |

| #4 Shhhh! Don't call them terrorists or they'll kill us! |

| #3 An agency report warns the Trump administration that designating the MB as a terrorist group might drive them into the arms of AQ and ISIS? I thought they were already designated as a terrorist group? Do they not provide material support of Muslim terrorist groups? We have some weak-kneed sisters in Washington. |
