Meanwhile the Pentagon has quietly released a study that sharply criticizes the Bush administration’s war on terror and its effect on the Muslim world. The Pentagon’s report concluded “Muslims do not hate our freedom, but rather they hate our policies.” The report goes on to state “The overwhelming majority voice their objections to what they see as one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights, and the long-standing, even increasing, support for what Muslims collectively see as tyrannies, most notably Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and the Gulf states.” The report was released late on Wednesday afternoon, the day before Thanksgiving.
