Charles Johnson (Little Green Footballs) clarifies a point that some had made concerning an assertion he made about Michelle Obama's online relationship with terror fundraiser Hatem El-Hady.

Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President..... "KindHearts is the progeny of Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, which attempted to mask their support for terrorism behind the façade of charitable giving," said Stuart Levey, Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.
