SHEIK AND BAKE

By CARL CAMPANILE

New York Post

September 29, 2004

Radical lawyer Lynne Stewart said there's a benefit to representing convicted terrorist sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman: free food from Arab street vendors. Stewart's stunning boast was intercepted in video surveillance of a prison interview she had with the blind sheik July 14, 2001, just two months before the Sept. 11 attacks.

Stewart tells the sheik that an Egyptian vendor gave her free and discounted chow when she told him she's Abdel-Rahman's lawyer.

"Discounts for the whole office. And when I go, it's free," Stewart gushed. She also said an Egyptian vendor gave her free coffee when she said thanks in Arabic, "shikram."

The vendor refused to charge her when she told him she represented Abdel-Rahman, a spiritual leader among some in Egypt.

You do not represent me! "No soup for you!"

Unless you are the same Sheik Abu Maqab al-Taqib al-Yerbouti that is also known as the "Dentist of Djibouti", a double amputee, citizen of Lebanon, Syria, France and Lichtenstein, 1980 Olympic gold medalist in lacrosse, Al Qaeda spiritual advisor, Kerry campaign findraiser and compulsive Barbie(tm) collector, then I suspect there may be a case of mistaken identity here. ;^)
