Foggy Bottom's Friends Why is the State Department so cozy with the Saudis?

The date was April 24, 2002. Standing on the runway at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, the cadre of FBI, Secret Service and Customs agents had just been informed by law-enforcement officials that there was a "snag" with Crown Prince Abdullah's oversized entourage, which was arriving with the prince for a visit to George W. Bush's Western White House in Crawford, Texas. The flight manifest of the eight-plane delegation accompanying the Saudi would-be king had a problem. Three problems, to be exact: One person on the list was wanted by U.S. law enforcement authorities, and two others were on a terrorist watch list.

More evidence of disgusting behavior at State. When will someone straighten these people out?

[Support Free Republic]

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

The Saudis are building their mosques and islamic centers across America
With full govt. & community approval

Note Ambassador Wilson of Niger fame as member of the Middle East Institute funded by the Saudis.

Has Bush ever commented on why arab muslim terrorists and a fugitive showed up for his BBQ?

This is a serious question, was an explanation even offered?

bump for a highly informative column

On Oct.2,2003 the U.S. State Department added 'terrorist websites' to the list of terrorist organizations. Only JEWISH sites are listed! The websites of HAMAS, HEZBULLAH, (hundreds more) are all ignored.

The Kahane group has not done terrorist activity in over a decade. Their leaders were murdered (by the Islamists involved in the WTC bombing) 10 years ago.

Not only that, the domain name kahane.net dropped from registration about a year and a half ago. The U.S. State thinks defunct JEWISH websites are more dangerous than functional ISLAMIST terrorist ones.

More info: at Haganah and the Washington Times.
