That would be sending Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, to name two, on our dime, as a representative of the United States. And yes, he first began his work for the State Department in 2007. This will be his third trip. Given his claim in 2001 that the United [...]

Or just Obama’s pick for the legal adviser to the State Department? Harold Koh, former dean of Yale Law School, seems to think that is A-Okay in the US of A. Oh, how I wish I was kidding. This article, “Koh, No” goes into more detail about Obama’s pick. And it ain’t pretty. Well, it [...]

Well don’t bring it up to the UN Human Rights Council because such talk is forbidden there. What say you?
