Al-Arian and others have been arrested.

Notwithstanding the fact they have been arrested, which I am aware of, I think GW should say something just as he did when he reproached Lott. The implication that the WH knew about the ongoing investigation of Al-Arian and that he was still invited to its meeting warrants distancing himself from them. We are talking about terrorist-financier-sympathizers and advocates of the destruction of Israel and of US influence in the region

I am aware of that. More importantly, President Bush is clearly aware of it, as are the FBI, CIA, and the DOJ.

I agree, the President should make a comment about what happened although I don't take the implication that the WH knew, to be very serious.
