...although I don't take the implication that the WH knew, to be very serious. Well, he was being investigated quite a few years prior to his WH meeting invitation.

So you think that the WH knowingly invited a possible terrorist?

That information comes from the WP:

"Sami Al-Arian, a former computer engineering professor at the University of South Florida, had been under investigation by the FBI for at least six years at the time of the June 2001 briefing for a Muslim organization. Numerous news accounts also had said federal agents suspected Al-Arian of links to terrorism."

Al-Arian told The Washington Post in an interview last year that being cleared into the White House gave him confidence that he was no longer suspected of being a terrorist supporter or sympathizer.

Al-Arian was one of 160 members of the American Muslim Council who were briefed on Bush's faith-based agenda and other issues by Rove and others in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is adjacent to the White House, on June 22, 2001.

As I told cyncooper on post #85, is the media which is making this implication.

Here is the link: Alleged Terrorist Met With Bush Adviser

If the link doesn't take you directly to the article, try this one and click on "Alleged Terrorist Met With Bush Adviser- Washington Post." (Hope it works) LINK
