REPUBLICAN Ex-Lawmaker Charged in Terror Conspiracy

[paulinstl 296]

Wow! All you mouth breathers who call any Democrat who doesn't support the war in Iraq unpatriotic and accuse them of aiding terroists, take note. One of your own was indicted on actively helping a terrorist funding group.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted on charges of working for an alleged terrorist fundraising ring that sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

 

Mark Deli Siljander, a Michigan Republican when he was in the House, was charged Wednesday with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about being hired to lobby senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

 

The 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying — money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

 

The charges paint "a troubling picture of an American charity organization that engaged in transactions for the benefit of terrorists and conspired with a former United States congressman to convert stolen federal funds into payments for his advocacy," Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Wainstein said.

 

Siljander, who served in the House from 1981-1987, was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations for one year in 1987.

i think we've established in this thread the only explanation for this type of behavior is they were really closet democrats.

4-Larry Craig, anyone?

5-So the Iraq war is illegal, then?

6-I guess that wasn't birdshot Cheney shot into his buddy's face. Maybe it was splooge

7-What exactly was Clinton impeached for? Sexual harrassment? Why exactly did Foley resign?

i'm not the one who brought all this crap up. but i'd still be willing to bet 99% of NAMBLA and every gay rights organization in America vote dem.....so you can talk about your foleys and craigs...but just remember who the whole dem party is supported by

Greed has become our only value, and focking over anyone available to get to it...

[IGotWorms 4,063]

What I'm wondering is, did this guy know what he was doing? Was he purposefully funneling money to terrorists, or did he not know exactly what they did?

 

Because it's possible that he thought he was funneling money to "freedom fighters" (like Al Qaeda fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the 80s), or perhaps he just wanted the money and didn't know/care where the funds were going.

 

Either way, he'd still be guilty...but it would be interesting to know his motive.
