Monday's refusal by the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the appeal by defendants in the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) case not only ended the defendants' hopes for legal relief, but it likely dashed similar hopes for key Islamist organizations named as un-indicted co-conspirators (UCC) in the prosecution.

 

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and ISNA's related North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) were all named UCCs. The designation allowed prosecutors to get statements into evidence that were part of the conspiracy, even if the groups and individuals named were not charged.

In view of the Supreme Court ruling affirming the HLF convictions, it might be time to consider if those FBI publicly expressed concerns about CAIR links to Hamas might now be translated into genuine investigative efforts instead of mere termination of outreach activities.
