House GOPers Accuse Muslim Group Of Planting Spies In Government — But They Do Not Have A List

Okay, check this out, from The Hill:

Four House Republicans are accusing a Muslim advocacy group of trying to plant spies on Capitol Hill.

Republican members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus said the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have tried to plant “spies” within key national-security committees in order to shape legislative policy.

Reps. Sue Myrick, John Shadegg, Paul Broun and Trent Franks, citing the book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Conspiring to Islamize America, called for the House sergeant at arms to investigate whether CAIR had been successful in placing interns on key panels.

Manchurian Interns infiltrating sleepy committee hearings? That does sound pretty frightful.

But don’t get too worried. I just checked with a spokesperson for Rep. Myrick, who seems to be leading this charge, and she confirmed to me that the group does not have a list of names of the infiltrators.

Though if the investigation does turn up a list, one imagines it just may be waved around at a press conference one of these days.
