Did Obama Appoint a Muslim to Head the CIA? JohnBrennan450x285 462 EmailShare (Dr. Jerome R.

Brennan advised that United States foreign policy should encourage greater assimilation of the Hezbollah terrorist organization into the Lebanese government.

This involvement is a far cry from Hezbollah’s genesis as solely a terrorist organization dedicated to murder, kidnapping and violence.” At the August 2009 press conference for the CSIS, Brennan declared, “Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early ‘80s and has evolved significantly over time. And now it has members of parliament, in the cabinet; there are lawyers, doctors, others who are part of the Hezbollah organization.” Middle Eastern terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah frequently maintain civilian units of doctors and lawyers in order to emphasize their outreach with local politicians and to increase their political acceptance in the international arena. Conceivably, the Istanbul-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief, better known by the Turkish acronym IHH, would fit into Brennan’s definition of the charitable side of organizations such as Hezbollah, ties to al-Qaeda that have been amply documented by experts such as former investigating judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who led the French judiciary’s counter-terrorism unit for nearly two decades before retiring in 1977. Despite this history, IHH is not included on the State Department’s current list of 45 groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations that names both Hezbollah and Hamas.

Brennan advised that United States foreign policy should encourage greater assimilation of the Hezbollah terrorist organization into the Lebanese government.

Brennan continued: “Hezbollah is already represented in the Lebanese parliament and its members have previously served in the Lebanese cabinet, reflections of Hezbollah’s interest in shaping Lebanon’s political future from within government institutions.  This involvement is a far cry from Hezbollah’s genesis as solely a terrorist organization dedicated to murder, kidnapping and violence.”
