December 4, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - The Saudi Arabian Embassy claimed yesterday it donated $400,000 to a controversial Islamic charity that has been shut down by the Bush administration for terror links so that the organization could buy office supplies and furniture.

What were they buying? Furniture from the Jackie O/JFK estate auction?

[TomGuy]

embassy officials thought they were helping an established Muslim charity buy furniture and other office supplies when they made the payment in 1997, but were "scammed" by a Middle Eastern businessman connected to the organization.

Where did they order from? Terrorist Supplies and WMD Accoutrements, Inc.?

"scammed"? Is that allowed in the Quaran? Must be a sublisting under that section on Death to all Infidels of the Great Satan

$400,000 for office supplies and furniture...should have tried Wal-Mart.

Boxes of munitions make surprisingly comfortable furniture; and won't your UN friends just 'ooh!' and 'aah!' over your novel missile launcher/flower planters?

Do they count explosives as office supplies?

[Guillermo]

Of course, the Saudis are our "partners against terror". LOL, with partners like them, who needs enemies?

Muhammed loves bacon, too...
