Excerpt:

A leading U.S. congressman investigating the nation's largest Islamic advocacy group says he is "deeply disappointed" with an embarrassing reply he received from a letter he sent to the FBI.

Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., sent the letter on Feb. 2 after FOXNews.com report that the bureau had severed ties with the Council on American-Islamic Relations amid mounting evidence that the group was linked to a support network for Hamas.

The FBI severed its ties with all local chapters of CAIR after a 15-year investigation culminated with the conviction in December of Hamas fund-raisers. CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

Wolf reached out to the FBI's assistant director for counterterrorism to find out whether the bureau still had any contact with the group it called a front for Islamic radicals, and whether CAIR was receiving funds from foreign sources.

After waiting more than a month, Wolf said, the only response he got was a four-paragraph letter from the FBI's head of public relations.
