At least one well qualified expert believes local agents did the right thing in the operation in which Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was shot, according to an article in today's Detroit News. ("FBI correct in shooting, ex-agent says").

The retired FBI agent, Gregory Stejskal, isn't part of an official investigation, and his opinion is just that - - only an opinion. But he provides an expert point of view that's been needed to balance the irresponsible accusations being made by CAIR's Dawud Walid, and professional rabble-rousers like Abayomi Azikiwe of the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice--accusations being lent faux legitimacy by the likes of John Conyers.

In Human Events this morning, the first of two articles I have up today on Samigate: "Washington Rashad Hussain Coverup?"

Who is covering for Rashad Hussain? Last Saturday, in a video message to the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Qatar, Barack Obama appointed Rashad Hussain to be his administration's special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Rashad Hussain several years ago defended a leader of a jihad terrorist group -- and now the record of his doing so has been deep-sixed.

Someone is covering up for Rashad Hussain. But who?

And what did Barack Obama know, and when did he know it?

Rashad Hussain is the Obama administration's newly appointed special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the thuggish international organization that is engaged in a full-scale campaign to intimidate Western governments into adopting hate speech codes that will effectively quash criticism of Islam - including jihad violence perpetrated in its name. Rashad Hussain is an apposite choice for this position, since several years ago he defended a notorious U.S.-based leader of a jihad terrorist group.

"Hallelujia, I came right up out of my chair this afternoon. Happy Valentine's Day! Andrew Bostom and Diana West hit back-to-back solo home runs, and Allen West delivered a grand slam!"

[Why, you ask?]  Both pundits featured Lt. Colonel West (U.S. Army Ret.) answering a former United States Marine's question about the mind-numbing myth of the "warping of Islam" that has resulted in the world-wide jihad.
