ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Bush administration may have a new weapon in the war on terror: the dinner invitation.
A designated terrorist with ties to Oregon was invited to sit down with U.S. government officials and their guests at an embassy event Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Soliman al-Buthi, 45, is well known to the Treasury and Justice departments and the National Security Council.
In 2004, he was designated a terrorist under an alternate spelling of his name for his role in operating the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation in Ashland. The first entry of a Google search using his name as spelled in the invitation says he “has been linked to al-Qaida funding.””
