CNSNews.com - Obama’s Envoy to Islamic Bloc Admits Controversial Statements About Supporter of Terror Group: "(CNSNews.com) – President Obama’s envoy to the Islamic bloc acknowledged Friday that he was accurately quoted in 2004 as calling the treatment of activist Sami al-Arian, then facing trial for supporting a Palestinian terrorist group, an example of “politically motivated persecutions.”
Rashad Hussain made the admission after Politico.com obtained an audio recording of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) event in Chicago where, as a Yale law student, he made the remarks.
“I made statements on that panel that I now recognize were ill-conceived or not well-formulated,” he said.
Earlier, Hussain -- through White House spokesmen -- said he could not recall having made the statements."
