that is all I see at this point.

Gaffney said that Ali Tulbah arranged for the American Muslim Council to attend a White Houe meeting, based on the AMC's press release thanking him for doing so. Norquist denied it, and called Gaffney a racist and a bigot for even making the suggestion.

Yet, as the link above at #28 confirms, the AMC did, indeed, thank Ali Tulbah for arranging the White House meeting, exactly has Gaffney charged.

You've asked for evidence. It was provided. You ignored it. You were reminded. You ignored it again.

There are links upon links here, sources upon sources. You've posted nothing of substance.

Gaffney made a charge, and the evidence for it was exactly where he said it was. If there's slander or libel here, it's Grover Norquist who is guilty of it.

Gaffney attacked Khan based on his father working at a mosque where Zawahiri raise dfunds under a false passport during the Clinton years.

There's NO evidence of culpability on the part of Mr. Kahn. None. Zero. Zilch. Only a connection to Grover Norquist, who go thim a job on the White House staff.

And if these folks were as bad as Gaffney claims, why did they pass Secret Service background checks? Particularly in the case of Mr. Kahn, who was WORKING in the White House every day, and presumably would get a very thorough screening?

And there also is NO evidence that the meeting the aide arranged - and what he was thanked for in the press release - had an effect on the policy the administration is pursuing. It certainly did not interfere with the investigation that's got a USF professor doing the perp walk. Gaffney may be right about that press release, but the meeting itself - there's no proof that anything adverse to the interests of this country has occured as a result.

No reports of Secret Service objections, no indications that it had any effect on policy in a manner that was favorable to the agenda of the group Gaffney criticized at CPAC. For all we know, Bush listened to their concerns and when they left, he put them in a mental circular file.

Gaffney might not be entirely baseless, but I have seen nothing to indicate this is anything more than cries of wolf and guilt by association.
