The Raw Story | Ex-lawmaker charged in terror conspiracy: "A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday on charges of being part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to a supporter of al-Qaida and the Taliban who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.
Mark Deli Siljander, a Michigan Republican when he was in the House, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists."
This story, from the Associated Press, is a good example of my less-than stellar faith in the mainstream media and the administration. I have to question what the truth really is.
Did this guy actually knowingly support Al-Qaida?
Is the "Islamic Charity" really funneling money to Al-Qaida, or is it a victim of anti-Islamic sentiment from 9/11?
Did this guy anger the administration somehow, and thus, being targeted politically?
Is this guy being targeted by the Democrats for election reasons?
Is this guy a scapegoat for someone higher up the food chain?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and how all of the parties in the government, and outside of the government, choose to spin this...
