And don't forget the bumblers at Justice:

NY Times, 2/21/03
RE: Sami Al-Arian indigtment...

Ms. Reno, attorney general from 1993 through 2000, declined today to discuss her department's handling of the case. "It's a pending case," she said. "I can't comment on it."

But according to former officials and experts intimately familiar with the effort to indict Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders in the United States, the investigation suffered from a lack of resources, such as insufficient Arabic translators, and fierce bureaucratic turf battles between the F.B.I. and the Customs Service over control of the investigation.

"We had so many obstacles that were put in our way," said a former official who worked on the case. A trip to Israel as part of the investigation had to be canceled because of bureaucratic problems, the official said, "and there were times when the Justice Department and F.B.I. were not very supportive. It fluctuated, but we never gave up."

OMG, she's still using that one eh? The truly amazing thing is NOBODY ever follows up when the "pending case" is finally over.

When she ran for gov. of FL you could feel the fear from the dims. They wanted to get rid of her so badly.

You've got to turn on Cspan and see the clowns (aka as dims). Check out McAwful's nose, what the heck is going on with that?!
