What's Next, Reid and bin Laden?
From the murderous dictators of terrorist-sponsoring regimes to Islamist leaders themselves:
A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday.Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday -- once at the parliament building and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, said Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan.
Most of you are probably not that familiar with el-Katatni, who believes in restoring the caliphate and instituting fundementalist sharia law, but you are certainly more familiar with another Muslim Brotherhood alumnus named Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's cavemate.
Nice folks the Democrat leadership is spending time with these days.
and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt
Another question is why the US ambassador to Egypt feels he needs to entertain Muslim Brotherhood honchos at the embassy and precisely how that sort of thing "fits" into our foreign policy.
