The touchstone document brings to mind the 1995 memo written by Bill Clinton’s “Mistress of Disaster,” then-Deputy Attorney Jamie Gorelick. Gorelick’s directive, titled “Instructions on Separation of Certain Foreign Counterintelligence and Criminal Investigations,” provided proof of the Clinton administration’s distaste for fighting Islamic terrorism and hindered investigations, according to DiscoverTheNetworks:
Because the memo created a barrier for U.S. intelligence agencies to share information with the FBI, one of its unintended consequences might have been to prevent the FBI from receiving the necessary intelligence to stop the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the worst in American history.
While two George Soros-funded nonprofits, the Center for American Progress and Media Matters for America, use the Alinsky playbook to try to convince Americans that “Islamophobia,” a make-believe mental illness, is a threat to American democracy and pluralism, the embattled Obama administration is currently in full-time damage control mode as the president’s foreign policy aimed at appeasing totalitarian Islamic theocrats collapses. The administration has been sucking up to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, a 57-state (56 sovereign states and the Palestinian Authority) group that considers itself the Caliphate reborn. The Obama administration may even be planning to promote Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws at the behest of Islamists, as Rep. Trent Franks discovered.
News of the touchstone memo comes amidst reports that the Obama administration is considering releasing 55 terrorist detainees from the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison camp. One of those former detainees is thought to be behind the recent torture-killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi, Libya.
The news also comes amidst reports that the Obama administration is working on sending the “Blind Sheikh,” convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, back to Egypt where that country’s new rulers would hail him as a hero for orchestrating the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Hani Nour El-Din, a member of Abdel-Rahman’s terrorist group, Jamaa Islamiya, visited the Obama White House in June. He asked the Obama administration to free Abdel-Rahman, saying such a move “would be a gift to the revolution” in Egypt. Hillary Clinton’s State Department had granted El-Din a visa to travel to the U.S. even though as a member of an officially designated terrorist group he is clearly ineligible.
Samuel Tadros, an Egyptian citizen and research fellow in Egyptian politics at the Hudson Institute, was astonished that El-Din was allowed into the U.S. “It would have taken the State Department five seconds to Google his name in Arabic and realize he is a member of a designated terrorist organization,” he said in June.

"This is a bizarre kind of procedural fairness as viewed in a funhouse mirror, applying something akin to a “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard to an FBI investigation."
This is exactly why they get away with it, it seems reasonable to typical Obama supporters and sycophants.
When you blame America first, you instinctively want it at every disadvantage.
I agree. Whether it is gut-level or conscious conspiracy I can't say. He is truly aligned with evil. That is what we need to worry about.
“Training must emphasize that no investigative or intelligence collection activity may be based solely on race, ethnicity, national origin, or religious affiliation,” the touchstone document reads. “Specifically, training must focus on behavioral indicators that have a potential nexus to terrorist or criminal activity, while making clear that religious expression, protest activity, and the espousing of political or ideological beliefs are constitutionally protected activities that must not be equated with terrorism or criminality absent other indicia of such offenses.”
Imagine the same standards for investigating other organized criminals (with a far lower likelihood of treason!), like the Sicilian American Mafia. The Mafia needs to form a "civil rights" front group , and to declare themselves as a branch of Catholicism. That will work…er, not. How about Buddhism? Nope. Islam will do though.
The Mafioso Muslims. That will ensure an upturn in their fortunes. How special it is to howl at the moon.
Another great move by the leftist run State department of the United States, Hillary Clinton should be impeached for allowing terrorists into the United States on charges of aiding and abetting the enemy.
Where is Edgar Hoover when you need him? The FBI is to busy taking cultural sensitivity classes and diversity BS to be worried about threats to our nation. Arent these organisations sworn to uphold the constitution and to protect this nation regardless of what a usurper may want?
I can now understand why Hoover got all the dope he could on presidents so that he would have enough power to do his job. When Obama is defeated there really needs to be an indictment and to try him for treason.
Yea Hoover must be turning in his dress ..
"FBI agents aren’t allowed to treat individuals associated with terrorist groups as potential threats to the nation"
This one's definitely a load of crap. Memo or no memo, they certainly do treat them as potential threats to the nation. It just goes to show, if you can't make up facts, make up their dramatic implications.
How much does a load of crap cost? Do you deliver?
The epa is probably watching his house as a toxic waste dump he has so much.
The only facts that are made up are false facts of your own making.
Believing that Allah is the only god and Muhammad is his messenger is harmless. But the Muslim that obeys Muhammad’s message becomes a psychopathic criminal and savage murderer. It is written in the Koran that an Infidel must accept Allah and his Prophet or be put to the sword. But since Allah is all merciful the Infidel will be allowed to live if he pays Jizya (extortion money) and agrees to become a despised sub-human.
How Emmy winner HOMELAND treats the US defense establishment as mistaken in their projection of American power: http://clarespark.com/2012/09/23/homeland-and-the…. “Homeland and the Idea of the Fifth Column.”
Emmy award winner HOMELAND was a liberal critique of the US Defense establishment as led by Republicans who put "America first": I decoded the show here: http://clarespark.com/2012/09/23/homeland-and-the…. "Homeland and the idea of the Fifth Column".
I wonder how the FBI treated the U.S.-Nazi Bund when they were in the U.S., with lots of followers, doing both legal and illicit activities, back in the 1930s, or how the FBI treated the U.S. Communist Party, when they did both espionage for the USSR and also engaged in providing legal representation for labor unions and blacks believed to be oppressed racially.
Oh, right, they were ordered to treat those people as totally legitimate.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the screen!"
J. Edgar Hoover had a point or two.
Why do I have a feeling this won't end well?
Bless Matt for his informed article but officialdom and law enforcement have been very active turning themselves into human pretzels in their footrace to tell readers and listeners "there's no Islamic terrorism here.
Just keep moving on" for years now.
Remember Major Hassan's trial. And Jihadi-philo Obama has banned language needed to identify jihadis from LE and military literature.
He is a poisonous boy waif devoid of knowledge or experience masquerading as an executive.
Those of you still blind to this are indeed blind and will most likely remain so forever.
The top favorites of the Obama-Clinton administration are the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal in America is the DESTRUCTION of civilization and global Islamic conquest. Muslim Brotherhood operatives and groups have been placed in extremely powerful positions in the government to help facilitate the MB goal. Hillary Clinton’s very close personal assistant of many years is one of them.
The Islam-adoring, SHARIA-LAW LOVERS, infidel-hating Obama Regime ordered the FBI ‘NOT’ to treat people associated with Islamic terrorist groups as potential threats because our treasonous leaders don’t want ANYTHING to stop Muslims from obeying the Quran war book. The Quran teaches hate, violence and murder of despised non-Muslims and commands Muslims to wage jihad against hated non-Muslims and conquer all nations.
The enemy is inside the gates and invited into our government by traitors. Why are our representatives not screaming from the rooftops against this treason against America?
If Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws are implemented by the treasonous Obama-Clinton administration and other Western leaders it will be the end of freedom and the beginning of the longest, darkest night the world has ever known. We MUST not let it happen! Millions of us must take to the world’s city streets in protest of this terrible evil!
Long live the Free World! LONG LIVE FREEDOM!
