Abstract
“Gephardt Bows to Jews’ Anger” was the headline in the New York Times on July 9, 1999. The article was about my rescinded appointment to the National Commission on Terrorism, a panel created by the U.S. Congress earlier that year to review U.S. counterterrorism policy and make appropriate recommendations. At that time, my organization, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), was the only American Muslim organization that had issued a counterterrorism policy paper, which was recognized by several members of Congress as authentic and invaluable to the U.S. government.
