One of the most effective ways to manipulate people is through guilt. A well-written news article about a poor victim of some horrible right-wing activity is a favorite of our left-leaning media. That method is being used now to encourage Americans to let down their guard regarding who enters the country. However, every now and then the efforts of the left to make the right look bad totally backfire. The ericontheradio<\/a> website posted an amazing example of this phenomenon today. The story also serves as a warning to Americans to be aware of the associations of some supposedly moderate Muslim groups. Whenever you hear CAIR\u00a0 (Council on American-Islamic Relations<\/a>) mentioned anywhere, remember that CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation<\/a> Trial.

After several months of wrangling between his CAIR attorneys and the Department of Homeland Security<\/a>, Long was temporarily removed from the no-fly list and allowed to return to Oklahoma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once home, however, he was still subject to FBI<\/a> surveillance according to claims he made during a press conference with his CAIR handlers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After an incident with local police and the FBI, Long was apparently placed back on the no-fly list, preventing his return to Qatar<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eventually he was taken off the list and allowed to return to Qatar. If the story ended there, it would be fine.
