“On June 22, 2001, [presidential Advisor] Karl Rove addressed 160 members of the American Muslim Council on [President] Bush’s faith-based agenda in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building…The scheduled speaker had actually been [Vice President Dick] Cheney. But that morning, a front page headline in the Jerusalem Post read, ‘Cheney to Host Pro-Terrorist Muslim Group.’ Citing logistical conflicts, Cheney canceled and Rove took his place.”
