US anti-mosque Republicans attack Bush ally

This video from New York City in the USA says about itself:

This video walks the distance between the WTC construction site and 45 Park Place (about a tenth of a mile). It begins with the walk sped up 400%, then slowed down to its actual time.

The future site of the Cordoba House project, which is not a mosque, is about a tenth of a mile — two and a half blocks — away from the World Trade Center construction site.

Here‘s a Google Maps look at the walk.

By Greg Sargent in the Washington Post in the USA:

As you’ve probably heard, Republicans are currently attacking the Obama administration for sending Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the “Ground Zero mosque,” to the Mideast to discuss life for Muslims in America. The problem with this attack line, as many have noted, is that this Imam was chosen for this program by none other than the Bush administration.
