Why not ask Muslim Americans?

Here’s one way the Bush administration can improve security at home and be more effective in Iraq — work to engage the Muslim American mainstream.
Major U.S. Muslim groups complain that the administration hasn’t done enough to involve them in anti-terrorist work. They’re willing. They just haven’t been asked in a significant way by top leaders.
Former presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark recently offered a good idea : President Bush should call for 10,000 Muslim Americans to help counter jihadist threats at home and serve as much-needed interpreters in Iraq. What do we have to lose, except a war?
