but what's the point of this thread .. Monsoor is already on record that he has in the past supported the dems

yeah, but this is beyond just making a token donation to the party in power, which I could understand for a businessman in his position.

This is REALLY REALLY supporting the Dems to the tune of almost $80,000, which for me is around two years salary.

I never really did trust him. When I would see him interviewed on Fox News, most of the time he just uttered cliche's from the previous day's news without any real insight. And sometimes he was really off the wall on his blame in various matters international.

Couldn't always put my finger on why I didn't trust him, but it was just a feeling I always had about him.

This news doesn't make me feel any better about him. His rift with Clarke the Dick is probably just ego driven, and we should watch out to give him too much credibility, especially in his claims that he "negotiated" the capture of Osama bin Ladin (three times, he said) for the Clinton administration.

Monsoor always gave me the impression that he has or comes from big bucks .. so giving that much isn't to much of a shock for me.

But I do understand your point about watching and keep an eye on him

Monsoor kind of reminds me of Geraldo .. they are both Dem supportors .. but when it comes to 9/11 and the terrorists ... they put their party aside and want to get the truth and get the bad guys

Given the Clinton administrations track record on terrorism, against Ijaz's knowledge of the region, along with his support of the Bush administration's policies on terrorism, I'd lend credibility toward Ijaz.
