Well that didn't take long! Barbara Boxer, having shown unusual sense in withdrawing an award to a CAIR official, has gotten back to hugs and kisses with them. The JTA news service reports:

"We have addressed the issues related to this unfortunate and unnecessary incident, and have agreed with Senator Boxer that we should all move forward to build a nation in which people of all faiths work together to promote respect and tolerance," a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a release after its meeting Jan. 23 with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).

CAIR and Boxer would continue to "encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding," it said.
