Pentagon Wakes Up, Retains Expert on Islamic Law

02-05-2008

An update on this troubling story that we told you about a few weeks back, from our friend Andy Bostom:

First and foremost, Rep. Myrick confirms that Major Coughlin will now be retained by the DOD, and "…associated with another office program within the Office of the Secretary of Defense where he will continue to spread his message."

The Congresswoman, one of the handful of stalwart individuals on jihadism in either the House or Senate, also highlights in her statement, the seriousness of what she terms, "…the nature of the radical Islamist enemy that we face today and how they are seeking to infiltrate all elements of our society."

Rep. Myrick further lavishes deserving praise upon Major Coughlin's thesis, "Major Coughlin's thesis must be read by everyone responsible for ensuring the safety of America," for which we now learn he has been retained, and arguably even promoted, within the DOD.

Andy goes on to levy some legitimate criticism of Myrick's statement. But hey, at least she took the initiative to confront the Pentagon over its conduct towards Coughlin, whereas her colleagues on the Hill were predictably mum. At this point, opponents of the global jihad will take all the small victories they can get.
