Rabih Haddad, a founder of an Islamic charity based in suburban Bridgeview, held meetings outside the U.S. more than a decade ago with members of terror groups linked to Al Qaeda, according to federal prosecutors.

During his overseas trips, the Lebanese-born Haddad, who was arrested by immigration agents four months ago, was reportedly seen at facilities that housed and supported organizations tied to the terrorist network, government officials said.

Clinton quashed the investigation of Global Relief and some other Islamic charities in 1995, so he wouldn't have to offend the Saudis. We know the rest of the story....

Yep, and the Muslim organizations here continue to whine about how Islamic charities are being unfairly targeted. This just goes to show whose side they're on.

Actually the Clintoon did that for the money like he does everything. Look at the money just promised his LIEbrary by one of the OPECKER PRINCES. Of course a lot of that money will be used by the Hildebeast in her future campaigns.

Speaking of the Hildebeast, while she was hugging Arafatty's wife and running her tongue in AraFatty's wife's right ear, she was taking contributions from one of these pro terrorist, Muslim, groups during her carpet bagger campaign to become NY senator for the JINO's who hate Israel.

Here in Michiganland, the Detroit Free Press has consistenly backed the pro-arab stance, not to mention what that communist Conyers constantly whines on and on about.

I'm canceling my subscription.

Good point. There is so much, shall I say, "depth" to that man, it's hard to keep up.

You would need 1,000's of great investigators and good writers just to uncover and document what the Clintoon did to damage America as our president and even as governor of Arkrazy.

It is hard to believe that this guy could be that suspicous for that long and not have anyone notice. But is is a good thing that the judge finally made the government come clean about the case. It actually makes the government look a lot better. All that secrecy stuff makes me nervous.

Sounds like an agent for the Jihad in America crowd!

He masquarades as an agent to send money overseas but he could just as easily be a funding agent for operations here!

Clinton's 8 years are what got us to Sept 11 and this whole mess in the Middle East. If he would have stayed away from the Middle East peace talks all-together, there would have been at least better outcomes than we have now.

Funny how Donahue didn't mention any of this stuff in his interview with Haddad's wife...

From The Weekly Standard this very week:

As if interns hadn't gotten enough bad press in recent years, along comes the Center for Constitutional Rights to make things worse. CCR, a non-profit legal group committed to the "creative use of law as a positive force for social change," has now established the Isabel and Alger Hiss Internship Program, honoring the man who famously made creative use of spying for social change.

The internship is being funded by the estate of Isabel Johnson Hiss, Alger's second wife. The new Hiss interns will asist CCR attorneys "working on government misconduct cases," since, as the Center's press release informs us, Alger Hiss, Stalin's man in Washington, was the victim of "one of the more infamous cases of governmental misconduct in the 20th century."

B-B-B-B-But with a name like "Center for Constitutional Rights," won't the conservatives be tricked into believing that the CCR actually believes in constitutional rights?
