As of January 2001, a Lebanese Rudy Maghariki is shown (picture)and his statement which says he was promoted to Room Service Manager as of Jan 2001.
If you can pull up the following website and see if you know this guy.

On the "Declaration of War" issue, the Congress passed a resolution for the President to use all necessary means including military force under the "War Powers Act," on 18 September, 2001. It was included in the Anti-Terrorism Act that passed that day, with only one dissenting vote.
As a firm supporter of the Constitution I agree that a clearer action should have been taken. Rep. Bob Barr and six other members of the House had introduced a separate resolution that was a "Declaration of War." That resolution was tabled, and the other one, which came from the Senate, was used.
Of course, as the Constitution says, a declaration of war requires only Congressional action. They do not require any signature by the President, and cannot be vetoed by him. However, from a legal standpoint, there is no impediment to including this -- as passed by Congress -- within the text of a law, which was then signed by the President.
In short, what was done was a little sloppy, but under the Constitution we are now in a state of declared war. The press hasn't made much of this, but it is there in the official language of 18 September, 2001.
The relevance of that issue to this most interesting thread is it affects the charges, trial, and conditions on this defendant if -- and only if -- the charges get broader than rape of a child. That charge is, of course, a Florida crime only, subject to the usual Florida provisions for a criminal trial.

Thank you. The militia types always claim that Congress must make a "formal" declaration of war - but I can never find it in Mankind's greatest document.
They fail to realize that The Founding Fathers included that provision so that a power-hungry POTUS could not launch a vendetta against a country he personally did not care for - The People must assent.
And they did, through their representatives in Congress.
I agree - it was sloppy. However, on Dec. 8, 1941 the Congress made a "formal" declaration for political reasons (good for national morale) and the Congress did not in 2001, so as to not give aid and comfort to our worldwide enemies ("see you just want to bomb Muslim civilians!")
If that does not work, go to yahoo. com, go to search and key in marco hilton room service. Choose Shooting star-Rudy Maghariki. Good luck it took me forever. Also you can pull up is last name and it will give you his profile.
But it has to do with the truth that every culture is not equal to every other culture. Should Puerto Rico have suddenly become a part of the United States, even if not a state, with their vastly different cultural foundation?
That's all I was alluding to. But since Padilla WAS a citizen, I think he should be treated as one, with the rights of one. I don't think visitors here (like our rapist here that is the topic of this thread) should be granted those same privileges. That's what I am mainly getting at.
Whether or not Hickam Rhazouani is a member of any radical islamic group or not, he is a visitor that we welcomed in our country and gave him a job. He then took advantage, raped one of our children. You tell me why this animal should obtain any more U.S. courtesy. I want even began to tell you what I think he should have gotten.
This issue is black and white for me and I could give a rip for folks who do not have the ability to see this for what it is .
For all of you cowards who choose to tremble with fright , someday you may look to your fellow man and woman who dared to step out .
I'll drag iron with you anytime TexKat .
The corruption in this hotel is enough to make you puke. Excellent find on his name there...it only took one call for the FBI to get the picture on Rudy and Hicham from myself. Again...stay tune...as Rudy was part of the free for all on 9-11 and the comping of the guests.
High fives all around!!!!!! were the actions of Rudy the morning of 9-11 to his Islamic pals.
That's why we had 9/11 - our corrupt government was busy accelerating the destruction of our liberties, all the while allowing more and more radical Muslims to pour into the country, while promoting a mythical "multiculturalism." They tried to hand red China the world on a platter, and allowed militant Muslim groups to fester and grow right here within our borders while murdering US citizens in Waco for being in the way of the Big Boys. Then they even ethnically cleansed Kosovo for a radical and absol;utely brutal Muslim group, all for a pipeline. But not just a pipeline of oil, mind you, but of women sold into slavery, and of heroine. Now the *&%&$!! ask me to forget the Constitution so that THEY can protect me and my family. I (&@@!$ think not!!!
We scrap the Constitution in order to defend it? How is that supposed to work?
You said,If that the U.S. find anyone whether American, Arab or whatever plotting, planning and/or conspiring to harm one strand of hair of an American, they should be in a military tribunal, not in our federal court system.
I personally know of some people in the Arkansas Mafia (and the FBI and DEA, BTW), who not only have conspired to harm Americans, they have done it. I would love to see them before military tribunals, but what would that mean for the rest of us? What would that mean for our nation? Are we at that point, that we need a military coup? I dearly hope not.
NON-citizens: fine and dandy, we are at war. BTW, I consider Lindh to be a NONcitizen, because he unofficially renounced his citizenship by taking up arms against US troops, and definitely NOT in defense of our Constitution. Citizens: let's not scrap the US Constitution out of desperation. We can win the war without destroying what we have left of what we are supposed to be.
I think I better get back in touch with an Egyptian friend of mine. After acquiring a PhD in a physical science, he became the manager of a large Hilton in DC. I always thought that was strange. I always figured he was actually working for the CIA at that time (long story as to why), but now I wonder.
Three Saudis, one Kuwaiti deny rape and murder of a child: lawyer
count me in there too! =o)
