Stewardess slain on 9/11 to share FBI honor with terrorist supporter

What the hell is wrong at FBI headquarters?

“The U.S. governments political schizophrenia in the terrorism arena you get a perk or an indictment may be summed up by the plans of FBI Director Robert Mueller to hand out two prestigious FBI ‘Exceptional Public Service’ awards this Thursday,” according to The Hill.

“One is to Madeline Sweeney, the courageous American Airlines flight attendant who was killed aboard Flight 11 when it crashed into the Twin Towers in New York. The other will go to Imad Hamad, director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee of Michigan. The New York Post says Hamad ‘supports terrorism and was himself a suspected terrorist.’ In interviews, he supports Hamas and Hezbollah, both on the State Departments list of terrorist groups. Go figure.”

Mueller’s pandering to extremist groups continues to raise questions about high-level political correctness that has tarnished the FBI’s terrorist-fighting image and demoralized agents in the field. His anticipated award to Hamad shows a continued pattern of a misguided Muslim outreach program that honors individuals and organizations that openly support terrorism.

The recent arrest of American Muslim Council (AMC) founder Abdurahman Alamoudi was a credit to FBI and Homeland Security agents in the field, but it threw egg in the faces of the FBI leadership, which has praised the AMC as a “mainstream” group and provided it with political cover.

The Hill, a newspaper about congressional issues, has figured out how suspected terrorist Alamoudi got red-carpet treatment in the White House: “up until recently, he had access to the president and top officials, thanks to the diminutive Capitol Hill gadfly Grover Norquist, who lobbied for him and for his American Muslim Council.”

According to Kamal Nawash, an attorney for Alamoudi and Republican candidate for Virginia state senate, Imad Hamad was held under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 as a suspected member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Nawash said in an article, “It seems clear that the INS is trying to deport Mr. Hamad for his support of the PFLP,” which Nawash called “allegedly a terrorist organization.”

The PFLP pioneered the art of hijacking civilian airliners.

“Exceptional Public Service.” Welcome to the New FBI.
