<![CDATA[“An FBI Clue”]]>Not long after 911 I was at a security training session with a member of the local bomb squad. He was teaching us how to recognize suspicious packages. When he brought out the lumpy manilla envelope with the wires hanging out he said, “This is what we call an FBI clue.”

He wasn’t kidding. Just now, and we’re talking well into the year 2009, the FBI has figured out that it should sever its ties with the terrorist-supporting Hamas front group CAIR.

Even still, the FBI apparently thinks that there may be something in the envelope besides a bomb. Like some candy, maybe.

The FBI’s decision to suspend formal contacts was not intended to reflect a wholesale judgment of the organization and its entire membership. Nevertheless, until we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner.” [emphasis added]
