In reply to the discussion: Wikileaks Reveals Private CIA's Dirty Laundry (WIKILEAKS RELEASE: 5 Million Global Intel Emails) [View all]CJCRANE
(18,184 posts)35. Here's some interesting stuff about the Ground Zero Mosque imam:
But add to this array of unexpected connections the work of Imam Rauf on
behalf of the U.S. government-which includes serving as an FBI
"consultant" and being recruited as a spokesperson by longtime George W.
Bush confidante Karen Hughes, who headed up the administration's
propaganda efforts in the Muslim world-and a compelling picture begins to
emerge. Bush's favorite Imam, with backing from a funder with connections
to the CIA, the Pentagon and the currency trading company that now
sponsors rightwing firebrand Glenn Beck, proposes to build a mosque around
the corner from the site of the most devastating terrorist attack ever
visited on America. In the name of "[cultivating] understanding among all
religions and cultures," he puts forth a project that offends a majority
of Americans and deals a significant setback to the broader acceptance of
Muslim-Americans. It's a little like Billy "White Shoes" Johnson claiming
the only reason he moonwalks after scoring a touchdown is to lower
tensions on the football field and raise the other team's spirits.
