TEHRAN American Muslim groups on Friday warned U.S. President George W. Bush against appointment of many Zionists in his administration. They specifically mentioned Rabert Satloff as the chief policymaker of the Middle Eastern affairs in the National Security Council. Satloff is the director of the Washington Institute.

The Council of American Muslims said in a statement, Satloff is a standard-bearer of professional propaganda for the Zionist lobby in the United States.

Due to his pro-Zionist inclination, Satloff will not be able to offer an unbiased analysis of the situation in the Middle East, the statement said.
