A HUGE victory for us. FBI finally got the hint. Hopefully the Obama administration doesn’t jump in and demand they reinstate CAIR. I wouldn’t be surprised though.
Three United States Senators have written to FBI Director Robert Mueller praising a decision last year to cut off contacts with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)and inquiring about other groups linked to a Hamas-support network in the U.S.
Republicans John Kyl of Arizona, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and New York Democrat Charles Schumer signed the letter dated Tuesday, which asked Mueller for additional information about the decision.
The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) broke the news last month that concerns over CAIR’s roots in a Hamas-support network prompted FBI leadership to cut off contact with the advocacy group last summer.
In a letter obtained by the IPT, the head of the Oklahoma City field office cancelled a meeting with a group of local Muslim community outreach groups due to CAIR’s involvement.
“We certainly support that action,” the senators wrote, “and it would be helpful to us to understand the situation more fully.” They asked whether the policy applies to FBI field offices as well as headquarters and whether there are exceptions. In addition, they asked whether the FBI has contacts with other organizations listed as un-indicted co-conspirators in the HLF case and whether other federal agencies knew about the Bureau’s policy.
“Obviously, we believe this should be government-wide policy,” they wrote.
Five House members also noted the FBI policy, sending their colleagues a letter warning themto “think twice before meeting with representatives of CAIR.”
