Boxer Distances Herself From CAIR

First, the facts:

Sen. Barbara Boxer of California has rescinded an award to an Islamic activist in her home state because of the man’s connections to a major American Muslim organization.

...

Boxer’s office confirmed to NEWSWEEK that she has withdrawn a “certificate of accomplishment” to Sacramento activist Basim Elkarra after learning that he serves as an official with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Then Newsweek's trite spin:

In a highly unusual move, Sen. Barbara Boxer of California has rescinded an award to an Islamic activist in her home state because of the man’s connections to a major American Muslim organization that recently has been courted by leading political figures and even the FBI.

First, it's fantastic that Senator Boxer has conducted due diligence into CAIR's terrorist activities. The more interesting thing, however, will be how Nancy Pelosi and Keith Ellison react. Pelosi and Ellison have conducted fundraisers for CAIR. The most likely scenario is that their affiliations with CAIR will go quietly into the night. They will likely accept no risk in correcting their support a group with known terrorist roots.

But why does Newsweek spin the move as "highly unusual?" Could this be related to CNN's characterization of Representative Virgil Goode as "Islamophic?"

Здравствуйте! Решил обратиться к вам за помощью, так как не знаю больше куда еще можно обратиться. Я живу в Нижнем Новгороде. Нижегородский бизнес меня затронул непосредственно. Рядом с моим домом начали строить бизнес центр, прям впритык. И когда забивали сваи - дом начал трескаться! Обращался и в администрацию, и в телевидиние, ну и конечно же в московскую компанию-застройщика Квартстрой. Это их детище разваливает нам дом. И ничего.Ни ответа ни привета. Хотел написать жалобу на нашем сайте businessnn.ru, но он как назло не работает.
