I quite agree with your comments about Norquist and Gaffney. Do you have any idea why Norquist has so many defenders here on FR? I haven't figured out yet why they would want to defend him.

Well, to be honest, I think several people in this thread "defended" Norquist to give him the benefit of the doubt, absent due process, which is fair as far as his role in aiding and abetting terror-funders such as Al-Arian. I believe this evidence is plentiful, if the A.G. is willing to dig into it politically.

A larger issue is Norquist's clear role in furthering the agenda of the radical Wahabbists in Washington. In effect, Grover Norquist is a paid lobbyist for the very people who sent 16 of 19 men to murder 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11th. Whether or not he deserves prison time I will leave up to a jury. As to his place in the Republican party and the White House...he should have none. If the GOP lacked ample reasons to shun Grover Norquist before, there is no excuse now.
