Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read.  Wonderful ... what possibly could go wrong with this gal running the Department of Homeland Security?  Please don't miss DHS takes U.S. national security to new lows.  And she is going to protect us against Islamic terrorists?  Frankly, she should NOT even be in the same building with anything to do with U.S. national security.

A voice of reason?

Cabinet: Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee reportedly is vying to replace Janet Napolitano as Homeland Security secretary. It would be hard to find a choice worse than the gonzo Houston Democrat.

Jackson-Lee has the backing of the Congressional Black Caucus, which has been aggressively lobbying President Obama to diversify his Cabinet.

[....] More concerning is Jackson-Lee's free association with people DHS is supposed to protect us from. She's in the pocket of Islamist groups who support terrorism.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, she is among the top 10 recipients of Arab-Muslim cash and has helped unindicted terrorist co-conspirators raise cash.

At one annual fundraiser for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, she presented the terror-tied group with a congressional recognition award — even though the FBI has banned the group from outreach meetings.

"How proud I am to have been associated with CAIR's legislative work," she said at a 2007 CAIR event. "We need CAIR and we need all of you supporting CAIR."

That same year, she placed at least one CAIR worker in her office, according to "Muslim Mafia."

This isn't someone who should be running an agency dedicated to protecting us from Islamic terrorists.
