Tom Campbell was a classmate of mine. No way is a terrorist symp. He is a law professor worried about civil liberties. Obviously he did not know about the guy's sub rosa activities, which is a different issue in any event.From the article.
A law-enforcement official told NEWSWEEK the Secret Service had flagged Al-Arian as a potential terrorist prior to the event.
I'm somewhat familiar with Campbell, as he was the Rep from my Mom's district. I'm not suggesting that he was a symp, but that Al Arian found him "useful." I think that's a problem.
The important thing to keep in mind about Campbell is that Suhail Khan was on his Congressional staff, now sits on the board of Norquist's Islamic Institute, was hired as a Muslim outreach aide at the White House on Norquist's recommendation, and is quite possibly the guy who invited Al Arian and/or weighed in against the Secret Service's objections to him.
Suhail Khan is the son of Mahboob Khan, at whose mosque Ayman Al Zawahiri riased money for Al Qaeda in 1995. And Suhail Khan is one of the two White House aides identified by Gaffney, over whom Norquist went ballistic, bringing much of this mess back to light.
