FBI agents seem pretty definitively about how CAIR is a Hamas-linked front group created to smuggle radical Islam into America:

The FBI took a new slap at the Council on American-Islamic Relations today at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial. FBI Special Agent Lara Burns was going over more transcripts from the Philadelphia meeting -- the 1993 gathering of Holy Land officials and Hamas sympathizers that the government contends was meant to brainstorm ways to downplay the Foundation's extremist ties - when talk turned to a passage from defendant Shukri Abu Baker. He is quoted on the wiretap transcript talking about how it would be beneficial to have more traditional, secular American organizations to help spread the Islamist message. He and others envisioned an "alternative" organization "which can benefit from a new atmosphere, one whose Islamic hue is not very conspicuous," he said according to the transcript. Prosecutor Barry Jonas asked Burns whether any groups formed after the Philadelphia gathering fit this mold. "CAIR," she said.

A lot of people have been pushing the story about how Obama's new lawyer is representing CAIR in an unrelated suit. I've gotten a couple of emails about it, and Anne just posted something a few minutes ago. I'm kind underwhelmed: law firms have different clients, and almost by definition some of them will be execrable. Less underwhelming: how Obama's new Muslim outreach coordinator - the old one having resigned because of links to CAIR - is taking meetings with CAIR and their openly terrorist-endorsing associates:

Hey, you don't think that Obama's illegal mosque-centered GOTV drives - which CAIR is helping to coordinate - came up in this meeting with Obama's Muslim coordinator? That would be a huge and suspicious coincidence, with the implication being that terrorist organizations are actively working to get Obama elected. Again.
