Now it is getting clear. You can reread your post slowly and get a sense of what is wrong with this picture.

Here is what I get from your post. Mansoor is a Moslem Pakistani-American. He has an "investment" management company that employs the ex-CIA director? What is the CIA chief knows about investment? Why the investment company is called Crescent, a symbol of Islam? Are James Woosley, and Abrahmson (both known for their Neo-cons political views) connected to Islamic investments, or money laundering of funds to Islamic organizations?

That is essentially the reasons that the Saudis funded the Al Qaeda, and Egypt provided Zawahri and his hate ideologies, and Pakistan provided international network, and arm shipments, and the US is unable to get its arms around this monster. Simply because of lots of ex-big shots are on the take from the Saudis. This big banana republic of ours will never get its politics right because its politicians never think of AMERICA FIRST. One time we had a politician, who kept drumming that slogan, and you remember what happened to him? Both parties, and the Washington establishment ran him out of town; he has big ears, and he was short, and he speaks with an accent, he quit the race, and came back again, he worried about his daughter wedding….

I'm not sure it's quite that simple, although you raise good questions. Ijaz was raised in Blackburg, VA and went to UVA, where he was educated as a physicist, I believe. That's why he has a southern accent. I'm from that area and that school, so I have no problem seeing where he might get conservative leanings. Yes, he is a Muslim and a Democrat, but from everything I've seen, he's a highly intelligent and reasonable individual. His father, now deceased, was also a scientist, I believe, but suggested to Mansoor that he go into investments. IIRC, the family experienced some financial problems and the dad did not want his son to do the same. I'll have to look that up.

I've never seen anything to suggest to me that Ijaz and Woolsey are laundering money. That's a serious charge to make on a public forum. Their partnership is perhaps not the usual one, but I don't know enough of their history to understand how it began. I think it would benefit us as we evaluate all the information we get to keep it in mind, but I don't think it's necessarily inconsistent with America's interests. But I don't know enough of the story to really know. I would hope that FNC, which relies so heavily on Ijaz's info, have investigated his credibility.
