Any good conspiracy theory has to have vague references to Saudi donors, not commies.
Let’s consider the dots here.
Daniel Saleem Seikaly, the head of criminal division at the DC US Attorney’s Office, who leaked the bizarre Hatfill pond and bloodhound stories — and misdirected the investigation — was born in Haifa.
The distinguished attorney has a businessman brother, Richard, and sister-in-law Zeina.

Mrs. Zeina Seikaly has taught a course in statistics at George Mason University.
She was president of the Middle East Outreach Council from 2004 to 2006.
In 1983, she explained to the Washington Post that although the work at a Georgetown Arab outreach center needed to be objective, she was a Palestinian nationalist and attended all the rallies. She came to DC in 1980. Her parents, Arab Christians, settled in Upstate NY in 1966.
She has written articles such as “Collecting Stories from Exile: Chicago Palestinians Remember 1948.”
In October 2001, she published “At risk of prejudice: the Arab American community. (Teaching about Tragedy)(Cover Story). “ in Social Education. 65.6 (Oct 2001): 349(3) which is published by the National Council for the Social Studies. She wrote:
“IF THEY FIND OUT that the attackers were Arab, will they put us in internment camps like the Japanese in World War II?” An Arab American boy posed this question to his parents in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. His fears were not laid to rest in the week after the tragedy, when hundreds of hate crimes were perpetrated against Arab Americans, both Muslim and Christian. These included verbal and physical attacks, shootings, bomb and death threats, and vandalism against homes, businesses, and places of worship. A general mood of hostility toward Arabs and Muslims was evident among the American public. The communities found themselves bearing the blame for the tragedies that had unfolded at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.”
In mid-October 2003, Zeina and Richard spoke at the all-day “TESOL Forum on Teachers Building a Culture of Peace: Classroom Responses to War and Terrorism,” hosted by American University, discussing stereotypes and misconceptions.
There is an article about alleging that she briefly worked for a little-known Saudi institute that the authors claim has links to folks who distribute pro-Islamic, anti-American and anti-Israel materials to public schools.
The article says:
“Zeina Azzam Seikaly, outreach coordinator at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, a Title VI National Resource Center on the Middle East. For several years, she was assistant director of Dar al Islam’s teacher-training institute, according to Dar al Islam’s Declerck.
Seikaly promotes many associates of Dar al Islam, printing their writings and inviting them to lecture. Shabbas has been involved in teacher training at Georgetown. Asked about Dar al Islam, Seikaly at first refused to discuss it, then admitted working there, but only for two weeks.”

But her writing I find, in contrast, all seems balanced.
It thus is ironic that there was nothing balanced at all about the ridiculous stories that her brother-in-law — effectively in charge of the Amerithrax investigation as head of the criminal division at the US Attorney’s office that would have prosecuted — was secretly feeding reporters. The bloodhound and pond stories were really stupid and baseless. Everyone, however well-intentioned, sees things through the lenses of their own life’s experiences. The prosecutor, however, should have shown balance given his formal responsibilities.
It was outrageous and inexplicable conduct to have leaked the highly spun bloodhound story, and only served to divert attention from the obvious solution to the Amerithrax matter. That is, that Bin Laden infiltrated one of our labs using a microbiologist taught by Bin Laden’s sheik al-Hawali. Al-Hawali was expressly the subject of the 1996 Declaration of War.
The top prosecutor certainly has had key positions. He was the go-to in the late 1990s at the Department of Justice in deciding whether to grant a wiretap application if it was suspected a spy had infiltrated one of country’s labs. For example, he rejected the FBI’s request for a wiretap involving Wen Ho Lee.
Okay, he was a law professor for years at Antioch Law School, which no doubt was dominated by communists fighting for the downtrodden. You win.
Here’s a program she organized on the invasion of Iraq which is alleged by one partisan academic to demonstrate a bias not consistent with government funding.

They are still out there. Other Leftists, particularly the Commies, fear these guys will do something for which they will be blamed. After all, they're all grown ups now, have respected positions at legitimate institutions, and earn their own keep ('cause the USSR is gone). They have children for gosh sake, and definitely don't want their children to be identified as part of an Anthrax Attack.
Anyway, even Commies are human (sometimes).
Every time something surfaces a person with Lebanese ancestors who is not a Moslem yet supports Palestinian causes, that usually means they're a Commie.
After all, Lebanese Christians were (ironically) the sponsor of the local fascist (falange) movement before Hamas came along. They let a lot of the Commies runaway to what is now Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. They killed the others.
These facts seem to escape the interest of the FBI ~ which is why the top ranks need a deep purge. Time for lots of retirements, or maybe even out and out firings.
J.Edgar Hoover probably rolled over in his grave upon hearing that the FBI hired a CIA guy anyway. Gad!!!
