re: #827 SanFranciscoZionist

My error. What is he doing then?

From A link that Charles provide earlier today:

But one young Egyptian asked: Wasn’t the United States financing the speaking tour that had brought the imam to Cairo because his message conveniently echoed United States interests?

“I’m not an agent from any government, even if some of you may not believe it,” the imam replied. “I’m not. I’m a peacemaker.”

A funding grant for a speaking tour doesn’t make you an employee. I’m sure that the State Department is getting their money’s worth out of his outreach efforts. But anything else he does is none of their business, provided that it’s not in violation of the interests of the United States.
