Honest Ibe loses one: Justice Dept affirms CAIR's unindicted co-conspirator status
The facade continues to crumble. "DOJ: CAIR's Unindicted Co-Conspirator Status Legit," from the Investigative Project, March 12:
There's another letter circulating on Capitol Hill affirming federal law enforcement's belief that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the product of a Hamas-support network in the United States.Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich sent the letter last month to four members of Congress who asked for details last fall on how CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror-finance trial against the Holy Land Foundation and its former officials.
He included trial transcripts and exhibits "which demonstrated a relationship among CAIR, individual CAIR founders, and the Palestine Committee. Evidence was also introduced that demonstrated a relationship between the Palestine Committee and HAMAS, which was designated as a terrorist organization in 1995."
Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, and trial exhibits show the Brotherhood created the Palestine Committee. CAIR officials adamantly deny any involvement with either Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood. The Weich letter, however, shows that the Department of Justice has not wavered in its conclusion that the internal records it possesses prove a connection.
It echoes a letter last spring from an FBI congressional liaison explaining why Bureau policy bars communication with CAIR outside of a criminal investigation. In that letter, Richard C. Powers, an assistant director in the FBI's office of Congressional Affairs, said evidence "demonstrated a relationship among CAIR, individual CAIR founders (including its current President Emeritus and its Executive Director) and the Palestine Committee."
Other exhibits showed that the Palestine Committee was a fundraising and propaganda arm in the United States for Hamas, which has been a designated terrorist organization since 1995. "[U]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS," Powers wrote, "the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner."...
Good. Read it all.
What is truly frightening is that even though CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirtator those with ties to CAIR are routinely allowed to minsiter to inmates, are active as military chaplains and quite frankly solicit and donate to members of Congress-justlook at the anti-israel brigade and you will see a list of CAIR's donnees. There is a reality glitch in this administration but that is nothing new. (Some would could it naivety, I call it deliberate stupidity)Unfortunately their glitch will end up with more dead Americans here and abroad.Never mind that the glitch will also cause a new devastating war in the Middle East.

To expand on the previous observation, I take this quote from the Declaration of Independence: "...That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it...". CAIR as a un-indicted co-conspirator falls into this category.The burning Question being, Why are they un-indicted?
