Some interesting reading here.

My question is...what is UP with USF?? How could they have been so STUPID? The newspaper does an investigative series on al-Arian's connections to terrorism in 1995 and he gets to stay on staff? Makes me wonder if there aren't some bigger hands pulling the puppet's strings. What is the culpability of USF? They may as well be considered accessories to murder.

Federal agents lead Palestinian professor Sami Al-Arian through the federal building in Tampa, Florida, February 20, 2003 after he and three others were arrested in a case about the alleged financing of terrorism, in Tampa, Florida February 20, 2003. In Washington, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the arrest of the four alleged members of Islamic Jihad, branded by the U.S. government as a foreign terrorist group, for racketeering, conspiring to kill more than 100 people abroad and other charges.

Behind Al-Arian's facade (founded the World and Islam Studies Enterprise at USF a decade ago)*** In 1995, after a suicide bombing operation carried out by Palestinian Islamic Jihad killed 21 Israeli soldiers, University of South Florida computer science professor Sami Al-Arian wrote a fund-raising letter in which he "call(s) upon you to try to extend true support to the jihad effort in Palestine so that operations such as these can continue." Many of Al-Arian's past statements and associations have raised suspicions that he was involved with terrorist organizations based in the Middle East. However, the fund-raising letter signed by al-Arian, shown during the Oct. 28 telecast of NBC's Dateline, is direct evidence of his active support for terrorism.

As usual, Al-Arian dismissed the story as old news and impugned the integrity of his critics. The videotapes and letters speak for themselves. When Al-Arian is seen and heard saying "let us damn America" and calling Jews "monkeys and pigs," no one needs to rely on his critics to interpret his remarks. And when he puts his signature on a letter soliciting funds for terrorist operations, his involvement isn't subject to misunderstanding.

Al-Arian claims he only "raised funds for the orphans" of suicide bombers. Please. It's no wonder he thinks he can get away with insulting people's intelligence. He has been playing his American hosts for fools for years, presenting a benign face to the general public while spewing the most hateful sort of venom in the company of fellow Islamic extremists. ***

Tampa Tribune series seems to have upset the PIJ guys mightily. These paragraphs from p. 57 of the indictment:

On or about April 17, 1995, RAMADAN ABDULLAH SHYALLAH had a telephone conversation with an unidentified male in Syria, in which RAMADAN ABDULLAH SHALLAH indicated he was very concerned that the local newspaper would soon be printing articles about their connection to the PIJ.

On or about April 17, 1995, SAMI AMIN AL-ARIAN had a telephone conversation with Jamil, in which they discussed SAMI AMIN AL-ARIAN's concern that a Tampa Tribune correspondent inquired about his ties to terrorism. Jamil told SAMI AMIN AL-ARIAN that they had previously decided that SAMI AMIN AL-ARIAN should say nothing and asked SAMI AMIN AL-ARIAN why he spoke to the reporter.

Title:	MODELING, TESTING, AND FAULT MASKING IN CMOS NETWORKS (NON-CLASSICAL, STUCK-OPEN)
Author(s):	AL-ARIAN, SAMI AMIN
Degree:	PH.D.
Year:	1986
Pages:	00264
Institution:	NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY; 0155
Abstract:	As CMOS has emerged as an important technology for VLSI, testing of large CMOS networks has become a crucial issue. This dissertation considers all possible physical failures in different CMOS cells and shows their effect in terms of logical faults. The existence of such a correspondence is verified by simulation results and a transistor level fault model is given. To make the test process simpler, a comprehensive fault model of CMOS gates wherein CMOS s-op faults are transformed into classical TTL s-at faults, has been obtained. This transformation makes testing of CMOS combinational circuits as equivalent to testing of transformed TTL sequential circuits. This model has also been used in conjuction with the property of fault-dominance along a path from the primary input(s) to the output(s) to test for multiple classical and/or non-classical faults. In addition, the fault model is used in identifying a procedure for testing CMOS sequential circuits designed with LSSD technique. A test sequence for detecting MS D FF is obtained. Three algorithms are also given for error detection and correction in both logical and arithmetical operations. In short, this dissertation describes the three major areas in CMOS testability analysis: modeling at the transistor and functional level, testing classical and non-classical faults in both combinational and sequential circuits, and fault masking in bit-sliced ALU's. Several examples are included to illustrate the versatility and usefulness of our fault models and the testing algorithms.

This is good information. I found indications that the FBI had suspicions about this guy as early as '98 but I didn't look beyond the first page of finds. This gives a pretty clear indication that the Clinton administration turned a blind eye to the terrorism.

[ErinsDaddy]

Thanks to the Tampa Tribune and the current Administration one more terrorist cell operating in the US is exposed and shut down.

If this was first reported in 1995, why has it taken so long for our government to investigate and indict? (I know the answer but want to see if anyone is listening).

Finally, where was the liberal rag St. Petersburg Times on this story?

Excellent job Tampa Tribune!
