James Baker’s remarks about Fethullah Gulen and Gulen Movement
Date posted: June 22, 2013

Sending Fethullah Gulen to Turkey would be a national disgrace
Is Gulen one of the good guys or the bad guys? I have no idea, but that’s seriously not the point here. The cleric has been granted permanent resident alien status and now resides in Pennsylvania. As such, he’s “our problem” now and is entitled to a fair shake. …any plan to ship Gulen to Turkey would be a national disgrace.
