Opinion: Getting Clear on Rep. King's Muslim Hearings
By not in system - AOL NewsRep. Peter King's congressional hearings Thursday on the radicalization of American Muslims reminds me of the TV commercial, "There's clear, then there's Claritin clear." My eyes are not itchy and my nose isn't running, but my mind is foggy about the true goals and objectives of these hearings. This is what I mean.

By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Dec. 6) -- When Farouk al-Aziz allegedly tried to incite members of a California mosque to blow up a mall, they reported him to the FBI, but nothing happened.

Republican campaign staffers send out e-mails placing Obama on the same page as the leader of Hamas. And GOP candidates in places far away from lower Manhattan quickly launched TV ...

5 Americans Have al-Qaida Link, Pakistani Police Say
By not in system - AOL NewsSARGODHA, Pakistan (Dec. 10) -- Five young American Muslims arrested in Pakistan met with representatives of an al-Qaida-linked group and asked for training but were turned down because they lacked references from trusted militants, a Pakistani law enforcement official said Thursday. Another senior officer said the men wanted to fight jihad, or holy war, in northwestern Pakistan and against American troops in Afghanistan. The young men apparently first tried to contact jihadist groups through Facebook and YouTube, then traveled to Pakistan to attempt personal meetings, a Pakistani diplomat ...
