McDermott was one of three Congressmen who went on Saddams propaganda tour of Iraq in Fall 2002. The trip was funded by Life for Relief and Development (LRD), a charity which laundered money to terrorist group Hamas Jordanian operation. LRD is funded in part by Shakir Al-Khafaji, a man who did about $70 million in business with Saddam through his Falcon Trading Group company (based in South Africa). LRDs Iraqi offices were raided by US troops last week, and the Detroit-area charity is suspected of funding uprisings, such as the one in Fallujah. Its officials bragged of doing so at a recent private US fundraiser.
Mr. Alkhafaji, one of two Americans named in Iraqi newspapers as a participant in Saddams Oil for Food scam, gave Congressman McDermott $5,000 in October 2002 for McDermotts legal defense fund in a lawsuit against him

I wonder if either of these individuals shorted airline stocks prior to 9-11?
I wonder if Falcon Trading Group ever did any business in aluminum tubes or depeleted fuel rods.
