International imam of mystery

There's something of a flap unfolding over there in NATO's weakest link. Seems that sometime over the past few years miscreants of unknown origin were able to install eavesdropping devices both in the office and the personal residence of Prime Minister Erdogan.

Now who would do such a thing? Who would harbor such a distrust of the patriotic islamic nationalist that they would seek to plant bugs in his home and office?

The suspect list includes but is not limited to the following;

• his former Israeli allies
• his former Syrian allies
• his former Hamas allies
• his former allies in Hezbollah
• his former allies in the Islamic Republic
• his former friends in UK
• his former US allies
• his former allies among the Turkish Defense Forces
• his would-be future allies in the EU
• his current imaginary allies in NATO

Wow! That's a guy with a long list of former allies but no friends! And now the editor-in-chief of Hurriyet Daily  has added another name to the list.

Fethullah Gulen, international imam of mystery.

Gulen was a prominent imam in Turkey before he came to America for medical treatment about fifteen years ago. He was so inspired by American freedom and democracy that he decided not to get well but to stay in the US indefinitely, which he has.

And when you read up on the man, it's not hard to see why he's the kind of guy America's 101 security agencies might want to keep around.

They're obviously grooming him for something special.
