> “My guess is he is either working for us, working for them, or both.”

My hunch is that he’s participating in a “deradicalization” program being run by DHS/DOJ (?) and MB USA on the sly.

(And I suspect the FBI doesn’t much care for the project.)

Cf. this, from the Dallas Morning News:

“Among the cases he became involved with was that of the so-called underwear bomber, a Nigerian who sewed explosives in his underwear and tried to blow up a Detroit-bound plane in 2009. He said he was trained by al-Qaeda in Yemen.

“Elibiary also cites a successful intervention in Houston involving a young man who was recruited to Pakistan and was brought back, he said. A paper titled “Terrorist Dropouts: Learning From Those Who Have Left,” published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, describes that case.

“Elibiary also mentions a failed case — the so-called Virginia 5, who were Americans from the northern Virginia area recruited by a Taliban operative. The men were convicted of terrorism by a Pakistani court in 2010 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

“You want to bring these kids back to their parents,” said Elibiary, the father of three daughters. “You want to get them the right kind of counseling, mentorship and a normal life in a healthy environment.”

Possibly related to this conference, from 2006:

Note, too, that Elibiary works closely with Houston’s Yasir Qadhi, about whom the same suspicion hangs.

Contrary to the articles cited, Elibiary is not a professional deradicalizer. He has NO training. Overnight, in his mid-20s, he went from being a programmer to starting a foundation and moving in important DHS and FBI circles, giving speeches on a national level, and disposing of a lot of money.

It was all very odd. The only thing Elibiary had going for him was his links to local MB/HAMAS/HLF circles and to Dallas Central Mosque, former home to the HLF, but spared by the DOJ when indictments came down.

Elibiary is not doing this sort of thing without government approval and assistance.

If so, the policy strikes me as insane and extremely dangerous.

“You want to bring these kids back to their parents … to get them the right kind of counseling, mentorship and a normal life in a healthy environment.”

Think about that! These young men have reached a point where they take bombs onto a plane, or had reached training facilities in Afpak, in a time of war. IN A TIME OF WAR!

Most Americans want to see them dead or in gitmo, sitting in a cell next to their teachers.

I have no reason to think that their staying on the Brotherhood/Hamas reservation makes us safer,
or does anything to decrease the potency of the global jihad.

And besides, what’s the difference between AQ and the MB? Current choice of targets?

AQ is an organic outgrowth of the Brotherhood’s people and facilities in Peshawar, and its domestic and international support structures. When they were done with the Russians, they set themselves to killing Americans, in the 1990s, starting with the failed attempt to take down the WTC.

And federales think they can domesticate this?

Idiotic.
