WASHINGTON -- Chicago congressman Danny Davis and an aide took a trip to Sri Lanka last year that was paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers, law enforcement sources said.
Davis' seven-day trip came under new scrutiny this week following the arrests of 11 supporters of the organization on charges of participating in a broad conspiracy to support the terrorist group through money laundering, arms procurement and bribery of U.S. officials.
The five-term Democratic congressman said he was unaware that the Tigers paid for the trip and on his required congressional disclosure form he reported that the trip was paid for by a Hickory Hills-based Tamil cultural organization, the Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America.

Check
this out. It's an amended disclosure form. It looks like Davis didn't list the trip the first time around.

He probably does not care...What is it about these Dems that they associate them selves with the enemies of this Country...Unfortunately we have way to many traitors among us in the circle of government in my opinion...

I stand corrected. Davis did file the info the first time around. Click here for the original filing.
I'm not sure why he amended that report.

Don't forget Tennessee. Corrupt politicians are being convicted right and left. Still have a bunch to go.

The tamil tigers are a bunch of suicide bombing, child soldier using, civilian murdering, bloodthirsty thugs. They are everything the muslims aspire to become.

But the Muslims want to kill Americans and the Tamil Tigers are killing Muslims.
This is an "enemy of my enemy" kind of thing.

We used to see Saddam Hussein as the archenemy of the Iranians as well. That didn't turn out quite the way we hoped it would. What Congressman Davis is doing is duplicitous, if not treasonous.

Or he's just one of the 5 least intelligent people on the planet with a staff of mental inferiors.
You be the judge.

1980s : () Also, while allied with the Pakistani government in the late 1980s and early 1990s the LTTE smuggled weapons from Pakistan-based Islamists to their counterparts in the Philippines.
