I received this from a Blogger friend of mine, named Rosemary.
It seems our Department of Defense is not using it’s Brain again. (Which doesn’t startle me in the least..)
This comes via Act for America:
Bill Gertz in his “Inside the Ring” column in today’s Washington Times revealed that Pentagon Islam Law expert , Stephen Coughlin was ‘sacked’. After Gertz’s column late last month, that we highlighted in an ACT blog there was speculation about the reception that Coughlin would get upon his return from the long Christmas New Years break. Now we know-read the full Gertz story below.
This is outrageous! Coughlin’s premier work on Islamic Law had been cleared and approved for publication by the DIA. Or will it be? Perhaps those nervous Pentagon superiors will, in the wake of his departure, nix it under pressure from Islamists inside and outside the Pentagon. Coughlin, had lots of supporters for his valued work inside the Pentagon, but apparently the public disclosure of the animus of Hasham Islam Muslim outreach officer on Deputy Secretary England staff against him must have convinced some Pentagon officials to force Coughlin’s ouster. This amounts to shooting the messenger who had crafted a telling message about the threat of Political Islam. It looks to many of us who know of Coughlin’s important work and have written about it that something nefarious is going on across the Potomac inside the E-ring in the ‘five sided squirrel cage’ that I knew as a former Army Intelligence officer. – Read the rest
Something tells me, someone somewhere made a big fat mistake.
I wonder if the liberal MSM will carry this one. Don’t bank on it.
