February 3, 2005 -- Brooklyn jurors on the terror-financing case of a Yemeni sheik yesterday viewed secret tapes of him huddling with an assistant — allegedly to create code words for weapons and ammunition.
Not knowing his German hotel room was wired, Sheik Mohammed Ali Hasan al-Moayad allegedly suggested to his assistant that instead of referring to a shortage of ammunition, they could say, "The corn is running low."
"A person must be clever," al-Moayad, 56, tells Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, 31, on the tape. "For example, if you wish to buy ammunition . . . 'By God, Sheik Mohammed, we wish to buy corn. The corn is running low, should we buy it or what?' "

'By God, Sheik Mohammed, we wish to buy corn. The corn is running low, should we buy it or what?' Small wonder we're winning. By the time they're done talking about fighting, we're done fighting...

This is the NY Slimes. Shouldn't this be a case of "militant financing", "activist financing" or the new "insurgent financing"? After all, The Islamofascists are the oppressed, and President Bush is the terrorist.
