REPUBLICAN Ex-Lawmaker Charged in Terror Conspiracy

Recommended Posts

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.

No, not surprised, but if this is true, it's as bad as anything I can recall.

I bet you less than 10% of anyone in Politics, does it to actually help the country or state. They do it to be crooked and steal.

Just so we have everything straight

 

Republicans:

Love the gay sex (check)

Support terrorism (check)

Molest children (check)

Have gay sex in public bathrooms (check)

Start illegal wars (check)

Shoot people while hunting (check)

Sexually harass interns/pages (check)

 

Is this the return to traditional moral values they talked about back in 2000?

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.

Do you know what the Log Cabin Republicans is? A gay Republican organization!

 

And how do you know so much about NAMBLA? Personal experience?

 

Thank goodness you'd be willing to bet on this stuff. We wouldn't want anything like facts to sully the conversation! We have porkbutt's willingness, for gosh sakes!

are you really that naive? okay, so forget nambla. just go to democrats.org to find your gay links.

 

it should tell you something when hillary refuses to march in NY st. pat's parade, but instead marches in gay pride parade. the party is overrun with gay support. which is fine, if you're cool with it....but the hilarity is when you guys make fun of gay republicans.
