I have no doubt that this article will sail above the heads of our leftist idealogues.  Folks, we just gave  Hamas member a tour of a Top Secret facility.  He is a co-conspirator in a case being tried by the FBI.  The FBI gave him the tour!!  This is simply a stunning story.  My Congressman's office did not know how to respond to me.  Here it is and all I can say is unfreakingbelievable!!

Quote[size=14]The fallout continues in response to my Big Peace article filed on Monday concerning a known Hamas operative and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism finance trial in U.S. history who was given a VIP tour of the top-secret National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and the FBI training center at Quantico as part of a six-week FBI Citizen Academy arranged by the FBI Chicago Field Office.

Now a Homeland Security official (requesting anonymity for fear of retaliation by superiors) has contacted Big Peace saying that "the plugs had to be pulled on our system" in order to allow Kifah Mustapha to enter the NCTC and that "the NCTC has Kifah Mustapha on the highest watch list we have. There's no way from a systems point-of-view that this could be an accidental oversight, unless they didn't bother checking at all as they are required to do."

The DHS official added, "It's as if we haven't learned anything from twenty years of reaching out to the wrong people in the Muslim community."



My report on Monday was prompted by a WLS ABC7-Chicago story over the weekend by news anchor Ben Bradley describing his participation in the FBI's Citizen Academy with Kifah Mustapha. As I noted then, curiously absent from Bradley's story was any mention of his Hamas travel partner's terror-tied background. Even more curious, ABC7 had aired an investigative report back in March about Mustapha, along with several subsequent reports about his de-certification by the Illinois State Police as a Muslim chaplain after failing a background check. Mustapha is currently suing the State Police claiming discrimination with the help of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), identified by FBI Special Agent Lara Burns during the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial as a Hamas front group.


What makes Bradley's silence about Kifah Mustapha's activities in support of Hamas all the more odd is that one of his own ABC7 colleagues, Chuck Goudie, published an editorial three weeks before Bradley's story aired contrasting the Illinois State Police's de-certification of Mustapha and the FBI's open embrace of the Hamas operative.

Mustapha's terrorist support activities are laid out in court documents filed by federal prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation case:
- Kifah Mustapha was personally named unindicted co-conspirator (#31) in the case, identifying him as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee that federal prosecutors say was formed to raise money for Hamas and was "committed to the globalization of Islam and violent jihad."

- Holy Land Foundation records confiscated by the FBI indicate that he was a longtime employee of the group and was paid more than $154,000 between 1996 and 2000 when the group's financial support for Hamas was at its peak.

- FBI Agent Lara Burns testified during the trial that Mustapha was a member of the notorious Al-Sakhra Band sponsored by the Holy Land Foundation and the Islamic Association for Palestine (another Hamas front group that was the parent group to CAIR) that regularly featured songs about murdering Jews and glorifying Hamas. The leader of the singing group, Mufid Abdelqader, was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

- In a deposition in a civil case filed against the Holy Land Foundation and other Islamic groups by the parents of a Chicago teenager murdered by Hamas at a bus stop in Israel (the groups were found liable in a $156 million judgment), Mustapha admitted that he was the registered agent for the Holy Land Foundation's Illinois office. His Chicago-area office was specifically named by the U.S. Treasury when the group was listed as a specially designated global terrorist group in December 2001.

- The Bridgeview Foundation, the mosque where Mustapha is presently an imam, was identified by the Chicago Tribune in 2004 as a national hot-spot for Hamas fundraising and terrorist support[/size]...

It raises more questions than it answers.

It makes one wonder if they didn't let him in with an ulterior motive in mind.
Maybe to show him we can see any and all activities they are planning.

I have no idea, but if that's not the case, I hate to think we have bone heads working there. 

News flash, the morons in charge now don't consider Hamas the enemy, more likely Isreal.

The left has no concept of national security, rememeber Clinton administration giving the chinese missle secrets in exchange for white house sleep overs?

All in all I consider both treason.

You wouldn't think that a guy who spent most of his time in a submarine
would be so paranoid about the sky falling.  Get a grip, submariner!

Based on your remarks it is obvious you do not understand why the NCTC is a Top Secret facility.  You know, it irks the crap out of me that while we have men and women in harms way we would allow a terrorist access to our TS facility.  There is a reaon it is given a Top Secret classifiaction.  It means that the information within stands to do serious to grave harm to our national security if leaked.  I think I have a firm grip on this matter, unlike you.  I had an interim TS.

Did you have the surgery?  Did it leave a scar? 
If so, wear a long coat and nobody will notice.

As I figured, you don't know what you are talking about.  Leave it for those who get it.  Not going to waste my time with an idiot.
