The article you reference states:

"It is impossible to believe that Jesse Jackson or Pat Robertson were aware that their friend and business ally Charles Taylor's regime was helping fund al Qaeda by selling it diamonds."

So what is the problem? When spreading the Gospel you will have to deal with a lot of unsavory people. There wasn't anything in the article to indicate Robertson was trying to personally benefit from the dealings. If we are all judged by the nature of every person we do business with, we are going to:

1.) Not do very much business at all or...
2.) Sometimes do business with scoundrels.

Either way, to judge the mans Credibility on this one article is kind of narrow minded IMHO. Sounds like you are just looking for a reason not to like him.

OK. I don't particularly want to get into a big kerfuffle about Robertson.
