US Muslim Envoy: Representing Who?
by Hana Levi Julian

Controversial U.S. Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference Rashad Hussein is back in the spotlight over an interview published Monday in the English-language edition of the Arabic international daily Asharq Al-Awsat. Commentary magazine's political columnist Jennifer Rubin first raised the alarm over the interview, charging in an Internet post that in a “foreign, Arabic publication,” Hussein “skewers, without justification or basis in fact, the Bush administration.” However, within 24 hours, Rubin was posting an update to inform readers that “no doubt alarmed by the Rashad Hussein interview, the State Department has provided a transcript and an audio recording of the interview that departs in significant respects from the interview that was printed at the Asharq Al-Awsat website.”

The Arab version was indeed quite different than that which the U.S. Government later provided to Commentary, leading Rubin to “wonder whether there is utility in speaking to such publications if the words of our special envoy are simply converted to anti-American and pro-Palestinian talking points.”

Even worse is when you wonder whether the words of the special envoy were converted to a PC version so as to keep the sheeple dozing while they're being milked....actually, no need to wonder.

Only a "moslem-in-chief" would need a "moslem envoy" to the Middle East.
