In another time this would be shocking news.
And if they were members of another political party, the pressure from news coverage would see them drummed out by this Friday. McDermott is such an assclown, I find it hard to believe he didn't know - and even relish - the source of his trip's funding.
it would be almost treason in 1941.
course after Jane Fonda went to hanoi and kissed commiegook ass who’s surprised at anything
have they paroled Jihad Johnny yet?
No kidding. None of the MSM media has covered this that I know. I only heard about it last night on either Glenn Beck or Fox News Channel, can’t remember which. They’are about the only two TV sources who have the guts to talk about the things the other networks won’t. I also just read more detail about the arrest:
“Al-Hanooti was arrested Tuesday night while returning to the U.S. from the Middle East, where he was looking for a job, his attorney, James Thomas, said. Al-Hanooti pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, illegally purchasing Iraqi oil and lying to authorities. He was being held on $100,000 bail.
Prosecutors said Al-Hanooti was responsible for monitoring Congress for the Iraqi Intelligence Service. From 1999 to 2002, he allegedly provided Saddam’s government with a list of U.S. lawmakers he believed favored lifting economic sanctions against Iraq.”
And with the Dems controlling Congress, I’ll bet it’s a long one.
