Nice Friends GOP

An interesting story Friday, A N.Y. man was accused of funneling money for terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan through a Canadian bank. He sent $152,000 for night vision goggles and other equipment to terrorist training camps.

What's odd is Abdul Alishtari is a top White House/ Republican Party contributor.

He's a Homeland security contractor, he belongs to the National Republican Senate Inner Circle Member for Life ( that must cost a bundle), the White House Business Advisory Committee and he claims to be friends with Dick Cheney. Well, it took the intrepid Wonkette team to dig the rest of the scandal out.

the guy was a department of defense and homeland security contractor????

Holy mackeraloni!!! This is a major scandal... funny it isn't getting much play. I caught something on the CBC about it this morning, but I wasn't paying attention so I thought I must have mis-heard.

These guys just get worse and worse. and worse. and worse...

Well he is charged not convicted yet, but hell, if it was Clinton the GOP would be looking for a rope and a tree by now.

True enough, OUR SIDE believes in innocent til proven guilty. The flaming torch and pitchfork side would have lynched this guy by now if it was the Clinton admin.
