...to the wrong person. Beck told newly elected Congressman Keith Ellison he wanted him to "prove to me that you are not working with our enemies" because Ellison is a Muslim. Beck felt really bad about being so suspicious.

Maybe the reason Beck couldn't discard the question is because it's an important question. If only Republicans had the sense to ask it of people who actually do things that help our enemies. For example, it would be a great demand to make of the people who punched a hole in our intelligence firewall for Ahmed Chalabi and his Iraqi National Congress buddies. That hole would be the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans, created from whole cloth during the lead-up to the invasion, inserted into the intelligence hierarchy above any vetting or oversight, then quietly disbanded after Chalabi's coziness with Iran was discovered.

When will the person responsible for sharing critical state secrets with Chalabi be asked to prove he is not working with our enemies?
