In December 2013, the news website Al Bashayer published audio recordings of a CIA delegation that met with Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Khairat al-Shatir and Brotherhood official Isam al Haddad at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Jan. 8, 2013. \u00a0. . . The CIA asked the Muslim Brotherhood leaders to open a back channel to al-Qaida \u2018to secure the safe exit of U.S. troops\u2019 from Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s motto since its founding in 1928 has been, \u201cAllah is our objective; the Prophet is our Leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the path of Allah is our highest hope.\u201d In September 2010, the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s \u201cSupreme Guide\u201d declared jihad against the United States and Israel, six months before the so-called &#8220;Arab Spring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This same Arab Spring led to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s diplomatic disasters in Egypt, Libya, and Syria \u2014 while she carried out President Obama&#8217;s PSD-11 directive.<\/p>\n<p>In a September 2010 sermon, as translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute, the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s \u201cSupreme Guide\u201d Mohammed Badie called for jihad against \u201cthe Muslim\u2019s real enemies, not only Israel but also the United States. Waging jihad against both of these infidels is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In declaring holy war against the United States and Israel, Supreme Guide Badie announced that all Muslims \u201ccrucially need to understand that the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a June 18, 2014, Gulf News article, \u201crevelations [about PSD-11] were made by Al Hewar centre in Washington, D.C., which obtained the documents in question . . . Through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, thousands of pages of documentation of the U.S. State Department\u2019s dealings with the Muslim Brotherhood are in the process of being declassified and released to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo this day, PSD-11 remains classified, in part because it reveals an embarrassingly na\u00efve and uninformed view of trends in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region,\u201d reported Gulf News in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, the State Department is still stonewalling the release of the same redacted copy of PSD-11, which according to Gulf News described President Obama\u2019s &#8220;ordering an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood and other &#8216;political Islamist&#8217; movements, including the ruling AKP in Turkey, ultimately concluding that the United States should shift from its longstanding policy of supporting &#8216;stability&#8217; in the Middle East and North Africa (that is, support for &#8216;stable regimes&#8217; even if they were authoritarian), to a policy of backing &#8216;moderate&#8217; Islamic political movements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In light of the 2010 declaration of jihad by the Muslim Brotherhood against the United States and Israel, the subsequent manifestations of PSD-11 on Hillary Clinton\u2019s actions as secretary of state speak for themselves. Two months before the deadly attack next door in Benghazi, Libya, Hillary Clinton travelled to Cairo, Egypt, to \u201coffer our congratulations\u201d to the newly elected Muslim Brotherhood president, \u201cfor this milestone in Egypt\u2019s transition to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of transitions, why shouldn&#8217;t the American voters, before they elect their next commander in chief, be able to see in broad daylight PSD-11, at least in the same redacted form that was shared two years ago with a middle eastern news outlet?<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph E.
