Did an 'expert' on terrorism conspire with a foreign government to violate the constitutional rights of American Muslims?

Steven Emerson, who has appeared at numerous congressional hearings and on major news outlets as an alleged 'expert on terrorism,' has raised some serious concerns among congressional staffers, civil rights groups, and some members of the media.

E-mail communications made available during lawsuits involving the building of a mosque in Boston, MA (Boston Lawsuit - ISB David Project), indicate a collaboration between Emerson and the Israeli Government. These electronic communications prove that Emerson, along with some anti-Muslim advocacy groups, worked directly with the public affairs office of the Israeli consulate in Boston to formulate the creation of a smear campaign intended to stop the construction of a new Islamic cultural center.

In other words, Kendall's attempt to make Emerson the next Dreyfuss is an epic fail. Thankfully PR newswire killed this story before the s*** hit the fan.
