Also, if they know which bogus charities and foundations are supporting them, why haven't they been shut down? Are all of our politicians stupid?"

Um………………………………………

Well, anyway, I wrote "Bargained for Exchange" in 1995 and the plot idea came from the very University of South Florida individuals and issues that Judith Anne references. For years, we knew of the goings on and had the wiretaps and other evidence but it wasn't shared. And because of that, we heard from Al Arian's supporters in the Muslim community and the academic community that, "he hasn't been charged with anything so he must be innocent". It was not until the post 9/11 mandating of the sharing of information that the domestic agencies needed and the international agencies already had that the indictments came down. So blame Church and Carter and the other emasculators of the intelligence community and the PC restrictions that make people afraid to accuse the most likely. And stupidity, too, because even those problems haven't been solved or adequately addressed.
And, oh yes, Judith Anne, Steve Emerson is the man to go to on this subject.

Thanks, Jim, are your books on Amazon?

I've been interested in Steve Emerson's book on the terrorists in America ever since it first came out. So much is known, available, in print, reputable, indisputable, AND VERY CLOSE TO HOME.

Just another comment--does anyone remember the little lady in Florida who overheard three ME types discussing terrorism plans, and she reported them? Remember they were at a restaurant on the highway...she overheard their conversation and reported them...they were stopped, and it turned out they were "medical students" and everybody made fun of the lady for being paranoid?

I didn't, and I think she actually heard some plans, which were foiled by her report. Laugh at me too, if you want.
