Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Terror Tryst?

(Fox News) - FBI wiretaps have placed the current executive director of the Muslim civil rights group the Council on American-Islamic Relations at a meeting of alleged Hamas leaders several years ago.

An FBI agent testifying at a trial involving a Muslim charity linked to Hamas has revealed that CAIR's Nihad Awad was present when Hamas officials and supporters hatched a plot to disguise funds for suicide operations through the Holy Land Foundation.

Investors Business Daily reports CAIR is denying any tie to Hamas, saying that is an "urban legend" fed by what it called "the right-wing, pro-Israeli blogosphere."
