MESA's duty to warn us all of the risks of Islamic terrorism is clearly less official than, say, the CIA's, but their credibility does depend on telling us the important stuff. They clearly muffed it here. Question is, did they just not consider it their business, did they have blinders on, or did they purposely suppress mention of it due to PC concerns? That is the case for Kramer to make. I really don't follow MESA but if it is a serious academic body, it had no such responsibilities. Only if it is an explicit public policy body does it. Beyond that I could hardly go. I have not kept up with MESA nor do I plan to do so. John
