Former Bush and Reagan adviser Ken Adelman said today that he fully supports the planned construction of the Cordoba House Islamic center near Ground Zero, and is “a little disappointed” that former President George W. Bush hasn’t come out in support of it as well.

Speaking on WNYC’s The Brian Lehrer Show, Adelman said that he thinks “the United States should stick with its values of tolerance and understanding and support for moderate Islamic leaders.”

He added: “And I’m a little disappointed in President Bush, while we’re taking about him, that he hasn’t come out.”
