• NWA: NBC Plays D For O
• By Mark Finkelstein (Bio | Archive)
  December 27, 2009
• Pres. Obama should find time in his busy vacation schedule to drop a palm-trees-and-sandy-beaches thank you postcard to NBC. 
• On this morning's Today, successive network staffers defended the administration's [mis]handling of the Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab matter.
• First, terrorism expert Roger Cressey [who usually plays it straight], claimed there wasn't enough information to "connect the dots" and move young Umar from the "watch list" to the "no-fly" list. 
• Really? The guy's father, a respected international banker, was so concerned about his son's extremist Islamist views that he took the unusual measure of personally contacting the US embassy with a warning. 
• Dots?  How about a huge, flashing, neon exclamation point!?
• Next, John Harwood backhands GOP criticism of the Obama admin's national security policy as "partisan." 
• ROGER CRESSEY: It's important to understand that there are multiple lists.  The lowest level list, with over a half-a-million names, you can get on that list by one person saying "I believe you Peter have terrorist ties or extremist views." That's what happened with Abdul Mutallab in this case.  His father went to the embassy.  To get to the more sensitive and significant list, there has to be more information, there has to be corrobating information.  So it looks like right now, the intelligence community didn't have those additional pieces of information. We talk often about how there's a need to connect the dots.  Right now it appears there weren't enough dots to connect.
• And a bit later . . .
  

  JENNA WOLFE: Could the fact that he allegedly got as far as he did mean that the administration's whole reputation on how they handle terrorism matters be hurt in some way?
  
  JOHN HARWOOD: Well certainly you're going to hear Republicans--and we already have--complaining that the administration doesn't take terrorism seriously enough. And so that partisan debate will be reignited.
• Let's summarize:
  
  1.dot dearth.
  2.Republicans bunch of partisan complainers.
  
• Say, here's an idea: rather than putting the burden on our intelligence and law enforcement authorities to prove that the people on the watch list are a threat, how about putting the onus on the people on that list to prove that they're not?

• Let's start a new

    December 27, 2009 - 10:22 ET by creekrat 

   

   Let's start a new conspiricy theory. Since W is still thought to have been behind 9 / 11 by almost a third of the people, why not suppose B H O was behind this attempt ?? 

   

   Would surely be a great diversion from the atrocity in D C !

• NBC........

  "News" for Brain-dead Citizens!~

• Republicans again?

    December 27, 2009 - 10:50 ET by ant 

   

  I had no idea saving innocent lives from terrorist madmen was such a partisan belief. Thank you NBC for clarifying that.

• Shut up!

    December 27, 2009 - 12:05 ET by iveseenitall 

   

   I wish those Republicans would stop "complaining".What do you think America is, a country where all points of view are encouraged? As Barry would say, "We won. Shut up!" 

   

     

   

   Never,Never trust a "liberal"

• Let's see, 2000 and Bush

    December 27, 2009 - 12:07 ET by DontFeedTheTrolls 

   

   Let's see, 2000 and Bush gets a memo saying 'Someone, somewhere, at some time may try to use a plane(s) in a terror attack.' 9-11 happens and it's all Bush's fault. 2009 Obama is told 'My son, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab is a terrorist and is planning on flying to America soon and I fear the worst.' 12-25 happens and it's all Bush's fault. 

   

   Yes, I see the logic there.

• Obama's Failure

    December 27, 2009 - 12:17 ET by PeterD 

   

   Obama received a warning ahead of time, from the terrorist's own father no less, and did nothing. 

   

   Obama didn't connect the dots. 

   

   Obama let the attack happen on purpose so George Soros can make another fortune. 

   

   Where was Joe Biden? 

   

   Did the white passengers who stopped the attack violate the Muslim suspect's civil rights? 

   

   Was the terrorist provoked by global warming caused solely by the United States? 

   

   Did the terrorist provide us with a teachable moment?

• Obama did nothing

    December 27, 2009 - 12:31 ET by Cool Arrow 

   

   And if we ever hear another lefty complain about the seven minutes President Bush lingered with some kindergarteners on 9-11, let us remember the days of silence during Barack Hussein Obama's Hawaiian vacation. 

   

   I'm not sure Obama could hide his dismay that the crisis isn't big enough for political capitalization.

• JOHN HARWOOD: Well

    December 27, 2009 - 12:49 ET by Jack Bauer 

   

   

    JOHN HARWOOD: Well certainly you're going to hear Republicans--and we already have--complaining that the administration doesn't take terrorism seriously enough. 

   

   

   Ha Ha Harwood. 

   

   If you stopped trying to crawl up Obama's rectum for a second, you may recall that it was the nutcases in his administration who REFUSED to call these acts what they are and made the ludicrous change to "man made disaster" -- or some such utterly unserious, childish crap, I believe. 

   

   That in itself is proof they don't take terrorism seriously. 

   

   How can Obama and his amateur hour posse take terrorism seriously when they when they can't even call it terrorism. 

   

   

    NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post...
    You Distort. We Deride. 

• We've been upgraded!

    December 27, 2009 - 13:05 ET by Rusty Shackleford 

   

   We should be honored!  The MSM has upgraded our complaints of The Holy One from "racist" to "partsan"! 

   

   It's a Holiday Day miracle!

• Radical Fundraiser Becomes Illinois Police Chaplain
• by IPT News  •  Jan 5, 2010
• Previously on the IPT blog we stressed the need for the Defense Department's Islamic Chaplaincy program to adopt a stricter vetting process, citing historically radical imams who have served in the program.
• Now the same can be said for the chaplaincy program for the Illinois State Police.
• The Mosque Foundation website reports that Sheikh Kifah Mustapha recently completed a four day training session in Springfield, Illinois to become the first certified Muslim chaplain for the Illinois State Police.
• Mustapha's name appears on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) Hamas financing trail, which ended with sweeping convictions in November of 2008.
• On this list he is identified as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee.
• According to the indictment in the HLF trial, the "Muslim Brotherhood is an international Islamic fundamentalist organization" that is "committed to the globalization of Islam through social engineering and violent jihad."
• It created the Palestine Committee with a "designed purpose to support HAMAS" politically and financially.
• A 1991 internal memo to Palestine Committee members reveals that members of the committee intended to further the Muslim Brotherhood's goals "on the American front."
• Mustapha appeared on the list due to his positions with HLF and Hamas' U.S. propaganda arm, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP).
• The IAP also wasa component in the Palestine Committee's Hamas-support network.
• In a deposition for the civil litigation Boim v. Quranic Literacy Institute Kifah Mustapha explained that he was a "registered agent for HLF in Illinois" from the mid 1990s until 2001 when HLF's assets were frozen. During this time Mustapha raised money for HLF.
• During the deposition Mustapha also described himself as a former member of a volunteer committee for the IAP beginning in the early 1990s.
• As a volunteer, he "distributed flyers" and helped prepare for "festivals or conventions."
• Those meetings often featured incendiary rhetoric and skits portraying Hamas violence against Israelis.
• Additionally Mustapha said that he donated money to HLF and "maybe" IAP.
• In addition to his work with the HLF and IAP, Mustapha has helped raise money for other U.S. Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
• Mustapha has raised money for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) which is under fire for its origins in the IAP and is also listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial.
• As recently as March of 2009, at a Dearborn, Michigan CAIR event, Mustapha helped raise $130,000 for CAIR.
• He has also raised money for the Muslim American Society (MAS) during a 2005 Chicago event.
• He also helped raise over $150,000 at a 2007 CAIR Chicago fundraiser.
• It's not clear whether the Illinois State Police knew about these connections and didn't care, or whether it failed to adequately research Mustapha's background.
• Either raises serious concerns about who will counsel the state's Muslim troopers.
• Reader comments on this item

• It'll take another.......

  ....911 before America wakes up.
• However, and I truly believe this, the current residents of the US have simply been sold down the river.
• The big money players here and abroad need the cheap labor that is flowing like a tsnumai into the US from basically everywhere.
• I think that I, a middle aged white US born citizen, became irrelevant at some point and am now probably a "speed bump" to progress of the New World Order.
• Thanks to all of the corporations that have yielded to the lure of higher profits for the stockholders at the sacrifice of a lot of the US population that helped to get them where they are. Natural progression I suppose.
• One of many negative side effects is the people who wish harm to this country are slowly and patiently setting up shop in the US.

  • But the official "alphabet Fuckers aren't investigating "crotch bombers" before the fact or any Islamofascist organization within the USA; but they are making house calls on American citizens questioning Obam's birth and legitimacy...
  Add Sticky Note
• Any idea that Islam can coexist with anything else is a complete and idiotic idealistic fantasy.
• Read their book. You who are non-muslim have 3 possible fates in an Islamic world, 1 is conversion, 2 is living under muslim rule as a slave paying the "jizyah", and 3 is your painful non-"believing" kafir death. That;s it. Prove me wrong. Wake up.
• Hassan in Killeen most recently showed you how Islam comforts the human being of planet earth. Rogue? Random? Yeah.....right.
• Radical Muslim "clerics" inside the gates
• Submitted by Ruler4You, Jan 7, 2010 12:04
• The other day I read an article that asked the rhetorical question: Are military muslim clerics radicalized? I couldn't help but, cynically, LOL at the out right naievte of the question.
• As though no credible evidence exists to suggest such a thing.
• This story evokes the same paradoxical question as to why we make such a big deal out of 'homeland security' while disregarding border security and MILLIONS of illegal aliens, not just mexicans, and the potential threat they pose. ITS STUPID.
• Now, I understand the PC reasoning behind such acts of arrogant ignorance, and lord knows we all want to feel good about our motives, but from the practical and in reality the more secure perspective, (you know, the one that is the cause of us going through metal detectors, body searches, explosives screeing and other inconveinent delays as we enter many state and federal buildings or any airport "sterile" area), don't you think we should be a bit less philosophical and a bit more 'secure' in our actions?
• This is clearly a lapse in the judgement of our 'security' at the policy, administrative, functional and practial levels.

• It raises concerns...

• It raises concerns as to whom will be guarding the detainees when/if they are transferred from Gitmo to Illinois.

   

  Following on the heels of Nadal Hassan in the military, the State Police are showing the same shrug attitude.

• Why does Fox News promote terror-tied, FBI-shunned group?
• Bankrolled by same wealthy Saudi prince, CAIR now regular guest on cable leader
• Posted: January 11, 2010
  9:52 pm Eastern
  
• © 2010 WorldNetDaily
• Long a reliably patriotic media source in the war on terror, Fox News may now be among news outlets who have fallen under the spell of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' propaganda machine.
• "We own the media," CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper privately brags, according to a source currently working inside the aggressive Islamist lobby group.
• Fox News host Bill O'Reilly last week invited the TV-savvy Hooper on his show to debate passenger profiling, the second guest appearance by the CAIR spokesman in a month.
• 
   CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper, right, on the Fox News "O'Reilly Factor" show with host Bill O'Reilly last week
• At the end of the segment, O'Reilly thanked Hooper and called him a "stand-up guy," sending shockwaves through the conservative blogosphere.
• CAIR is no ordinary guest.
• The government has blacklisted it as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator, and the group remains under criminal suspicion by the FBI, which has cut off outreach ties to it.
• Congress and the IRS also are investigating CAIR, which has had no fewer than 15 executives and board members convicted or implicated in terror probes, including its founding chairman.
• In addition, CAIR's very existence as a legitimate corporation has been challenged in a lawsuit in federal court.
• 
   FBI agents arresting CAIR founding director Ghassan Elashi in 2002
• Given CAIR's proven ties to terrorism – which O'Reilly failed to mention – why would Fox offer the group's top executives a virtually uncritical forum on prime-time cable TV? Saudi Arabian money may be a factor.
• It turns out that the same billionaire Saudi prince who owns a major stake in Fox's parent company also bankrolls Washington-based CAIR.
• And sensitive State Department records reveal Hooper – despite his repeated public denials – has personally solicited cash from the prince and other members of the ruling Saudi royal family during recent trips to the kingdom.
• The common financial bond between Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal and Fox, and between bin Talal and CAIR, raises questions not only about Fox News's independence, but about the truthfulness of CAIR's top spokesman.
• Hooper repeatedly has denied that CAIR receives foreign support, insisting it's a "grass-roots" nonprofit organization.
• In CAIR press releases, Hooper has stated unequivocally: "We do not support directly or indirectly or receive support from any overseas group or government."
• However, smoking-gun video footage obtained during a recent six-month covert investigation of CAIR puts the lie to Hooper's claims.
• In a private conversation with undercover researcher Chris Gaubatz, who was posing at the time as a CAIR intern, Hooper boasted that he personally can "bring (in) a half million of overseas money" a year, adding: "If some guy's got a lot of extra money in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), I don't mind taking it."
• Hooper made the remarks Aug. 30, 2008, during the Islamic Society of North America's 2008 annual convention in Columbus, Ohio.
• A State Department cable citing Hooper by name, moreover, directly contradicts Hooper's denials about foreign support, according to the blockbuster book "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," which exposes the secret inner workings of CAIR, among other radical Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America.
• The sensitive but unclassified communiqué was written by U.S. Embassy staff in Saudi Arabia, who in June 2006 reported the following after meeting with a CAIR delegation:
• "One admitted reason for the group's current visit to the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) was to solicit $50 million in governmental and non-governmental contributions."
• "(Saudi) King Abdullah knows CAIR very well," the cable added.
• Among other things, CAIR said the money would be used to "counter negative stereotypes about Muslims in the U.S." media, a phenomenon described by CAIR as "Islamophobia."
• The core delegation, according to the cable, consisted of Hooper, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad and then-CAIR Chairman Parvez Ahmed. Besides Riyadh, the trio also visited Mecca and Jeddah.
• Just three months after the trip, Hooper denied soliciting Saudi government funds.
• "To my knowledge, we don't take money from the government of Saudi Arabia," he said in a September 2006 appearance on MSNBC's Tucker Carlson show.
• At a meeting held that year at the Saudi headquarters of the kingdom-run World Assembly of Muslim Youth – whose U.S. branch was formerly run by Osama bin Laden's nephew – CAIR announced the launch of a massive PR campaign and warned potential donors that the U.S. was trying to curtail the political activity of Muslims.
• Awad, with Hooper at his side, said CAIR needed a well-funded endowment to change American opinion.
• He proposed spending $10 million annually for five years on the media campaign.
• "We are planning to meet Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal for his financial support to our project," Awad told the Arab press. "He has been generous in the past."
• He also presented a $10 million relief check to then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani – or at least he tried. Giuliani rejected the gift after bin Talal blamed America's "pro-Israel" policies in the Middle East for the attacks.
• Indeed, the Saudi prince donated at least $500,000 to CAIR after 9/11.
• Prince Bin Talal's voting stake
• Bin Talal, a member of the Saudi ruling family, owns a 5.5 percent voting stake in Fox News' parent News Corp., run by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
• The prince has said he is willing to increase his share in Fox's parent to fend off hostile takeover bids by rivals.
• Murdoch, in turn, has invested in bin Talal's Saudi-based enterprises.
• It is not immediately clear if bin Talal has influenced Fox's decision to book CAIR. But there is strong evidence that bin Talal has directly influenced Fox News content in the past.
• As WND reported, during violent street protests involving Muslim immigrants in France in 2005, the Saudi prince persuaded Murdoch to change a screen banner that identified the unrest as "Muslim riots."
• "I picked up the phone and called Murdoch (and told him) these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," bin Talal said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from 'Muslim riots' to 'civil riots.' "
• 
   Prince al-Walid bin Talal
• Fox News has acknowledged it changed the banner after receiving complaints from unnamed Muslims abroad. It has not denied bin Talal's influence in its internal operations.
• Bin Talal isn't the only member of the ruling Saudi elite bankrolling CAIR.
• Bank wire records published exclusively in "Muslim Mafia" show another Saudi royal family member has pumped six-figure sums into CAIR coffers.
• In 2007, for example, Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Mosa'ad transferred $112,000 directly into CAIR's bank account at Citibank.
• The Saudi bank transfers further undermine the official line peddled by Hooper, who has a reputation for dissembling.
• Longtime CAIR critic Andrew Whitehead, for one, calls him "CAIR's liar-for-hire,"
• CAIR sued Whitehead for defamation and lost.
• "The record shows CAIR habitually engages in deception," said terror expert Steven Emerson, executive director of the "Investigative Project on Terrorism" and author of "Jihad Inc."
• In 2003, for example, CAIR accused WND of "demonizing Muslims" for citing a Bay Area newspaper's report that CAIR's then-chairman, Omar Ahmad, told a gathering of Muslims that Islam was in America to dominate and that the Quran would one day rule over America.
• Despite CAIR's dubious reputation, Fox has recently given Hooper and other top CAIR leaders an unchallenged platform to persuade the American public to back off passenger profiling and other measures to counter an ominous upswing in terrorism.
• Since the Fort Hood terrorist attack by a Muslim Army officer, CAIR's leaders have been invited on Fox at least four times, even though there are several other Muslim groups considered genuinely moderate who could speak for the Muslim community, such as the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.
• "The issue," Emerson said, "is whether CAIR is an honest and reliable broker for American Muslims."
• Hooper was invited on "The O'Reilly Factor" twice to shoot down profiling following the attempted airline attack by a Muslim would-be suicide bomber who concealed explosives in his underwear.
• In both appearances, Hooper – looking less fundamentalist without his trademark kufi skull cap – was given a full segment unopposed and unanswered by other guests.
• In the wake of the Fort Hood attack, CAIR chief Awad was invited on Fox, and in an interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, Awad denied Islam had anything to do with the deadly massacre – even though it was known at the time that the shooter was Muslim and had yelled "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire. Awad also got a full segment unopposed.
• Free spin on Fox
• Most recently, CAIR's chief lobbyist Corey Saylor appeared on Fox New during an interview with anchor Bill Hemmer.
• Fox did not balance Saylor with an opposing guest to challenge the CAIR spokesman during his full segment, in which he contended young Muslim men are no more "security threats" than 85-year-old grandmothers.
• Washington recently added Saudi Arabia – CAIR's patron – to a list of 14 mostly Muslim nations whose travelers will undergo extra airport security screening.
• Saylor slammed the new Obama administration policy as "across-the-board profiling" and complained "Muslims will pay the price for this one."
• At no time during any of the four appearances by CAIR leaders did Fox bring up the fact that the FBI has cut off ties to CAIR or that the Justice Department has blacklisted the group as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator – information critical to the public's understanding of CAIR's possible bias in delinking terrorism from Islam and arguing against Islamic terrorist profiling.
• 
   CAIR's Corey Saylor on the Fox News show "America's Newsroom" with co-anchor Bill Hemmer
• Curiously, even O'Reilly of "no-spin zone" fame failed to so much as hint at the many controversies surrounding CAIR in his introduction of Hooper.

• O'Reilly also let Hooper get away with a glaring falsehood during his most recent appearance.  

  Hooper maintained CAIR does not share al-Qaida's "talking point" that America and the West are "at war with Islam." Yet after the Iraq war, CAIR's chairman declared: "The United States is at war with Islam itself."  
• Detractors say the misleading statement is yet another example of CAIR's deceptive tactics, which should give the media pause before booking CAIR representatives as the official voice of Muslim Americans.
• Investigative journalist Paul Sperry, co-author of "Muslim Mafia," says giving CAIR's leaders a media platform is "like giving Hamas and the terrorist enemy a platform."
• He notes that while CAIR may bill itself as a "civil-rights advocacy group," the FBI says that far from being a benign nonprofit, it's an American front group for Hamas terrorists and the radical Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of both Hamas and al-Qaida.
• The bureau last year cut off formal ties to CAIR's national office in Washington and all 30 of its branch offices across the country.
• CAIR at the time blamed its ban on the "right-wing" Bush administration and confidently predicted that a Democrat administration would restore relations. Yet fully a year into the Obama administration, CAIR remains frozen out of any formal outreach with the FBI.
• At the same time, the Justice Department has blacklisted CAIR as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history, against the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation. The trial ended in convictions on all 108 counts.
• Prosecutors have also connected CAIR directly to the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement that seeks to institutionalize Saudi-style Shariah law in America and the West through immigration, coercion and political infiltration.
• "From its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists," assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg stated in a court filing.
• He adds that the Saudis and CAIR's other Arab patrons pay him well for it – more than $95,000 a year in total compensation, IRS records show.
• Who is 'Dougie' Hooper?
• He also commands a six-figure annual budget for conducting opposition research against CAIR's enemies – which internal documents revealed in "Muslim Mafia" include, ironically, Fox's O'Reilly and other "right-wing" media personalities.
• A Canadian immigrant, the 53-year-old Hooper was known as "Dougie" before he converted to Islam.
• His birth name is Cary Douglas Hooper, according to government records.
• He became a member of the Cairo Foreign Press Association while working for periodicals in the Egyptian capital, the global headquarters of the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
• Hooper also worked for local TV stations in Minnesota, where he once let it slip out that he favored Islamic rule in America.
• 
  Ibrahim Hooper
• "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future," Hooper said in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
• "But I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education."
• "This is Hooper's real agenda," Sperry said, "make no mistake."
• In an October interview with CNN, Hooper denied charges of Middle Eastern influence-peddling: "We have no ties of any kind to any foreign group in any form."
• However, CAIR is on record promising to do the bidding of its Arab backers.

• In 2006, shortly after a company owned by the United Arab Emirates lost a controversial bid to take over control of several major U.S. ports, Awad, Hooper and other CAIR officials traveled to the UAE to meet with its rulers.  

  It was agreed that the UAE would set up an endowment in the U.S. run by CAIR to fund an "education" program to change negative perceptions about Islam that the UAE believes contributed to the public outcry that derailed its multibillion-dollar ports deal.   
• The endowment caught the attention of the U.S. government, which issued another sensitive State Department cable regarding the unusual deal.
• It noted UAE Minister of Finance Sheik Hamdan bin Rashid Al-Maktoum endorsed a proposal to build a $24 million property in the U.S. to serve as an endowment for CAIR to launch its $50 million image-building campaign through 2011.
• "The endowment will serve as a source of income," Awad told the Arab press at the time, "and will further allow us to reinvigorate our media campaign projecting Islam and its principles of tolerance."
• CAIR is working out details of its endowment with the Dubai-based Al-Maktoum Foundation, founded and controlled by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
• The anti-Israeli charity has held telethons to support families of Palestinian suicide bombers and other so-called "martyrs."
• After 9/11, the Al-Maktoum Foundation took a nearly $1 million stake in CAIR's headquarters property, just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol, as first reported by Sperry in his 2005 book, "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington."
• Sperry said. "Of all people, Fox should know better than to give the enemy voice. There are other legitimately moderate Muslim voices out there who can better speak for the broader Muslim community, and they aren't hard to find. Why Fox keeps going back to CAIR really makes one wonder about the influence Saudi money is having at Fox."
