New York's Peter King will open committee hearings tomorrow on what he calls silent extremism among Muslim-Americans. The Republican Congressman says his hearings will be "thoughtful, meaningful and very fair." But he's been accused of a witch hunt comparable to the famous McCarthy hearings into Communism in the 1950's.
