DUBYA KOWTOWS TO CAIR

If you've got the stomach for this, the Dubya administration has been pandering to CAIR on issues involving transportation security. As if Chicago's O'Hare airport doing that wasn't bad enough. Andrew McCarthy says:
On a weekend when the Bush administration achieved a new CAIR-friendly low, a prominent Democrat, following the lead of other prominent Democrats, distanced herself very publicly from the unsavory Council on American-Islamic Relations.

The Transportation Security Administration is the executive agency created after 9/11 to protect American travelers. Yet, Americans viewing its website this weekend could not have felt very protected. Aghast, instead, would have been the proper response to this posting. As if snuggling up to CAIR, coercing our law-enforcement and intelligence professionals to endure CAIR’s Islamic “sensitivity training,” and inviting CAIR to weigh in on our nation’s foreign policy were not enough, we now have a Bush-administration agency publishing an unedited CAIR press release on publicly subsidized, official government Internet space.

In this instance, right under TSA’s emblem and a memorial banner depicting the late President Gerald R. Ford, Americans were treated to a news announcement beneath the big blue headline, “CAIR Welcomes TSA Hajj Sensitivity Training.” If you have the stomach for it, compare this TSA posting to the official CAIR press release from which it cribbed. They are identical.
Read it all. What's amazing is that, while Dubya's been doing this, the Dems by contrast have been waking up. But one has yet to wonder if it's all for political gain. Either way, this is very serious, and people with common sense must start paying serious attention.
