In 2002, LIFE led the Saddam Hussein propaganda trip that U.S. Democratic Congressmen David Bonior, Jim McDermott, and Mike Thompson, which was also funded by Iraqi oil-for-food scam artist Shakir Alkhafaji.

And the dems complain about DeLay...

Hopefully, CAIR is on the FBI's list as well.

There are some other links at the lifeusa.org website under the credentials page, but this one listed under "Michigan" it particularly curious:

Life for Relief and Development is a 501(c)(3) non-government organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Below you will find just some of the various documents issued by state, federal, and international authorities that have invested us with the legal authority to work as a globally recognized relief organization.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of these raids... Many of these "charities" are simply fronts for the economic support of terrorists. Maybe they should raid ANSWER and Code Pink as well? At least they could say they aren't concentrating solely on Islamic related charities -- equal opportunity ya know? (o;

didnt the FBI raid a Dallas islamic charity a few days before 9-11?

[mjp]

Well, it's about time. LIFE--the largest Islamic charity still open for business in America

Hey, here's an idea. Shut them all down now. Sheesh.

Nice job keeping on this. Let's not forget the government, CIA, FBI are all part of "We the People" meaning us. We all do our part and we all keep America safer.

Not shocked at the raid itself, however, cannot for the life of me, begin to comprehend how it came to pass that, that PC, completely useless, POS, Mueller, signed off on this action?

But not to worry, friends, I can already see the headlines in next months Washington Times:

"FBI Director Mueller orders Detroit FBI Agents who participated in last months LIFE raid to undergo Islamic/Muslim sensitivity training which will be hosted by the Detroit Chapter of CAIR."

[Apple Blossom]

I was sure this was going to be about CODE PINK, but I guess we can't really call them a charity now...can we?

[TheRobb7]

DNC Headquarters raided............again?

[Guenevere]

Is there an election coming up or something?

NY Post version

A U.S. Attorney is endangering the nation's only jury conviction of terrorists since 9/11. Tuesday, three men convicted in the first post-9/11 terror trial were supposed to be sentenced. Instead, these members of Detroit's "sleeper cell" may go free.

Their defense attorneys are getting help from an unlikely source - U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Collins, the Justice Department's top official in Detroit, who is leading the way to overturn these convictions.

Richard Convertino, the star prosecutor of the Detroit U.S. Attorney's Office, won the case - and Collins' actions may cost Convertino his job.

A seasoned litigator, Convertino helped prosecute the infamous Bank and Credit Commerce International (BCCI), put a corrupt Oklahoma state senator behind bars and got convictions against Detroit's Mafia and gang leaders.
