Every day brings new revelations of how shady and dishonest the leaders of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative are, and how fishy the whole endeavor has been from the beginning. "Mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking $4.8M one," by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein in the New York...
