That should give them celebrety status with the MSM.
I don't think you're missing a point; but I haven't followed your posts on this thread. I just jumped to the last post and transcribed the question from the press and the answer from the AG.
Someday when we are hit here at home again, all the usual suspects will be wailing about our failure to "connect the dots." As usual, they won't place the blame where it belongs.

A KindHearts primer
Monday, February 20, 2006
What is KindHearts?
A Toledo-based nonprofit that collects more than $4 million a year in donations, making it one of the largest Muslim charities in the United States.
Why did the government raid KindHearts' offices and freeze its assets?
The Treasury Department has accused KindHearts of funneling money to Hamas, which the government considers a terrorist organization.
Who runs KindHearts?
Khaled Smaili of Toledo founded it in 2002. He is a former fund-raiser for Global Relief Foundation, a charity that the United States shut down for funding terrorism. Jihad Smaili, Khaled Smaili's brother, serves on KindHearts' board of directors and is the group's attorney from his downtown Cleveland office.
Where does the money go?
KindHearts insists that most of it goes to help needy Palestinians in both the Palestinian territories and Lebanon. The U.S. government claims that KindHearts is also supporting Hamas.
How does KindHearts raise money?
Through its Web site, www.kind-hearts.org, and at fund-raisers held across the country, usually at mosques.
When did KindHearts open?
In 2002, after the U.S. government closed the three largest Muslim charities in the country, accusing each of supporting terror.
I'm sure you're exactly right. And it's hard to connect the dots when the left is trying to do everything in their power to stop law enforcement from connecting those dots.
It's fascinating that the left lets us kill the jihadists, but heaven forbid we actually listen to their phone conversations. Some days I feel like I must be living in an alternate universe when I hear the Rats try and defend themselves.
about time the government listed to Jack Bauer about Marwan.
I was with you most of the way, but didn't find the word Haliburton in your post. Amature! LOL
They don't, really. The Left has fought our presence in Iraq tooth and nail. If GWB had not gone into Iraq, trust me, the Left would be hollering and screaming about our continued presence in Afghanistan.
I see why you asked the question then. I wondered why you asked the question you did.
I will only respond that I don't think it's shredding the Constitution for us to listen to jihadists talking with Americans. Neither, obviously, do appeals courts which have consistently ruled for the Government in this matter.
All presidents have retained the Constitutional authority to do whatever is necessary to protect the citizens of the United States. Even Carter's Attorney General made a statement, when Carter signed FISA into law, that this in no way took away the Constitutional authority of the presiden to override the new law if the president thought it was necessary to protect the citizens of the country.
As well, I always find it interesting that the president has been granted authority to kill terrorists. But he can't listen to their phone conversations.
But I understand that you feel differently.
Exactly. The Neville Chamberlains among us have done the country a great disservice and the jihadists must be laughing their heads off. For that alone, I'll never forgive the Rats.
bbl
The indictment says they were seeking funding, including potential government grants. Do they mean United States or Ohio government?
Muslim population centers in the US & Europe are cancers
Have you been reading Iowahawk again? ROFL!
On or about April 4, 2005, EL-HINDI met with an accountant in Dearborn, Michigan, to begin the process of creating a new non-profit organization that would be used to receive grant funds, under the guise of providing tax educator services.
Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that all were anglo saxon militants. Boy, was I wrong!!!
I don't know. Perhaps both.
BTW, if it's so easy to get gummint grants, I need to look into getting me some. ;-)
Muslim population centers in the US & Europe are cancers
They have the most unbelievable mosque here. I am new(er) to the area, but am told that it is the largest between DC and the Mississippi (lol or something like that). I don't understand why they would have built it here in Toledo though, when there is a huge muslim population up around detroit?
