Mustapha Khalfi is back at work

Mustapha Khalfi, the Moroccan Islamist who received a Fulbright scholarship and worked in Congress, and whose potential connections to terror financing were documented by myself and Olivier Guitta here, here, here and here, is back at work in Morocco again.  As Olivier Guitta writes in the Counterterrorism Blog:

Then in yesterday's Washington Post, Craig Whitlock interviews Khalfi and of course forgets to mention that Khalfi's party the PJD is an Islamist party very close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Here's the excerpt:
Mustapha Khalfi, a member of Parliament from the opposition Justice and Development Party, said the government was arresting suspects, based on little evidence, to please U.S. officials. "They are pushing us to do some bad things," he said. "This conflicts with U.S. policy to strengthen democracy and to strengthen human rights."

Khalfi said the number of Moroccans joining the fight in Iraq had been exaggerated. At the same time, he added, as long as the U.S. military remains in Iraq, many Moroccans will feel duty-bound to help the resistance.

"There's a long tradition in the Muslim world of solidarity against occupation," he said. "It's rooted in our society. To explain it and understand it is easy."

Conclusion: we should stop paying for our enemies to come to study in our country with our tax dollars just so that they can spread their venom when they go back home.
Would it have been so difficult to pick a moderate Muslim instead of Khalfi whose blatant anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism were well known before he reached our shores."

I can't help but wonder... why did the U.S. not actually arrest Khalfi when he was here?
