And, Hassan al-Tourabi has connections in the US:

1995 : (TAMPA, FL : SAMI AL ARIAN, & SUDAN'S HASSAN TURABI) [Sami] Al-Arian's close ties to both PIJ and Hamas go back to at least 1995. Al-Arian used a group he founded, the Islamic Committee for Palestine, to plead for funds for PIJ and Hamas. Conferences organized by ICP featured Islamic Jihad founder Abdel Aziz-Odeh, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (spiritual leader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers), leading Hamas official Mohammed Sakr and high-ranking Sudanese terrorist Hassan Turabi, a close ally of Osama bin Laden. --------- Democrats' imam was character witness to terror supporter , WorldNetDaily.com, Thursday, July 29, 2004

I think it's safe to say that "they're all in it together", and that Democrat/MSM naysayers have just been politicking against people like Bush and Cheney who were trying to fight these guys -- because they're Bush and Cheney.

Now that the backstabbers, eye-gougers, and ankle-biters have their guy in office, they'd better get a new bifocal prescription and snap to.

Of course, if the Iranians or Al-Q'aeda were to take out most of the big cities in the NE corridor with a string of medium-yield nuclear weapons, we could begin to talk about institutional liberalism as a large-scale but classic case of a self-solving problem.

Unfortunately.
