Does Homeland Security understand who Mosab Hassan Yousef is?

Maybe Janet Napolitano really is as dumb as calling terror attacks 'man-made disasters' makes her sound. Or maybe there's some ulterior motive.

I've already written about the US attempt to deport Mosab Hassan Yousef here. There's a deportation hearing on June 30 in San Diego. Evelyn Gordon comments:
This deportation request prompts many questions. One is why official Israel has not been raising a storm in its former agent’s behalf — though a fair answer would be that official Israel has zero pull with the current administration. Another is what kind of message this sends to American agents — many of whom must also dirty their hands to produce vital intelligence. Will they, too, face deportation on account of their former involvement in terrorist organizations, should they someday seek asylum in the U.S.?

But the best question of all is the one Yousef himself asked on his blog: “If Homeland Security cannot understand a simple situation like mine, how can they be trusted with bigger issues?”
Or is this simply a payoff to Hamas, and if so, for what?

Something smells rotten here.

This is an Administration that refuses to face to the evil that is Islam. Thus, it comes as no surprise they seek to deport one who has fled that evil. Those who do not fight evil will end up being consumed by it. Mosab Hassan Yousef's fate might as well be ours.

The claim that they have to deport him under existing law is like a claim that one has to prosecute a heart surgeon for "stabbing someone in the heart." The law concerning "material assistance" obviously was not intended to apply to a case like his.
