Cut her some slack. When they set up the meeting with “that Hootenanny guy”, she thought it was someone from the old 1960’s TV show hosted by Jack Linkletter.
1993 WTC bombing & al-Hanooti trivia:
[snip]...The spiritual leader of the Capital Region’s largest Muslim mosque allegedly raised more than $6 million for a Middle Eastern terrorist organization and was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, according to court records, interviews and a classified FBI memorandum. Sheikh Muhammad Al-Hanooti, the 65-year-old imam at the Islamic Center of the Capital District for the past year and a half, denies the allegations and insisted he has not been a fund-raiser for Hamas, the outlawed Palestinian organization whose leaders have publicly claimed credit for numerous terrorist strikes and suicide bombings. In an interview last week, he condemned terrorist attacks against the United States, said “I love America” and noted that he has married a U.S. citizen.
But a Times Union investigation reveals a complex history of association by Al-Hanooti with convicted terrorists and organizations that U.S. authorities believe to be fund-raising fronts for terrorist groups. -— “Religious leader tied to terror Imam of Capital Region mosque disputes FBI report he raised funds for Hamas, condemns terrorism against U.S.,” By BRENDAN LYONS, Staff writer , Times Union, First published: Sunday, June 30, 2002
And a 1995 memorandum filed in federal court by former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White names Al-Hanooti — along with scores of others, including Osama bin Laden — as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing that claimed six lives and injured thousands. -— “Religious leader tied to terror Imam of Capital Region mosque disputes FBI report he raised funds for Hamas, condemns terrorism against U.S.,” By BRENDAN LYONS, Staff writer , Times Union, First published: Sunday, June 30, 2002
JULY 30, 2003 : (SUSAN LINDHAUER HAS PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MUTHANNA AL-HANOOTI, PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHFIELD MICHIGAN GROUP ‘FOCUS ON AMERICAN AND ARAB INTERESTS AND RELATIONS’ aka FAAIR) To demonstrate her commitment to nonviolence, Lindauer also shared with me portions of the evidentiary material contained on a stack of compact disks turned over to her by the government. The evidence against her, which includes wiretapped conversations with friends, neighbors, foreign diplomats and fellow activists, is currently in the hands of her new court-appointed attorney, who was not representing Lindauer at the time I spoke to her. Among the documents Lindauer showed me was a transcript of a telephone conversation with Muthanna al-Hanooti, the president of Focus on American and Arab Interests and Relations, a nonprofit organization in Southfield, Mich., dated July 30, 2003, two days before the Arab-American activist made one of his frequent trips to Iraq. During the call, Lindauer praised al-Hanooti for being a ‘’man who believes in peace’’ and exhorted him to ‘’stay with God — just stay with God.’’ As the conversation continued, al-Hanooti seemed to hover between impatience and boredom. ‘’Other people are doing bad things, and they may try to use you as cover for bad things,’’ Lindauer said. ‘’So don’t let them.’’
‘’It’s a very delicate balance, as you know,’’ al-Hanooti replied. ‘’But, ah, we’ll do our best, you know. We’ll do our best.’’ -———————Source: “Susan Lindauer’s Mission to Baghdad,” [”spy” story — long, strange], by DAVID SAMUELS, New York Times Magazine, August 29, 2004 Posted on 08/29/2004 12:38:16 PM PDT by 68skylark
AUGUST 1, 2003 : (MUTHANNA AL-HANOOTI TRAVELS TO IRAQ)
[* My note: Hanooti is involved with LIFE for Relief and Development, a terror charity believed to front for Hamas; LRD IS ALSO CONNECTED TO ANTHONY ELGINDY, STOCK TRADER ]
Yes, I wonder if she did have a foreign affair?
Al-Hanooti has connections to Imad Hamad
...The INS was so opposed to Hamad’s presence in the United States that it fought to deport him for over two decades. But, under political pressure from Michigan politicians, like Senator Carl Levin and Rep. David Bonior, the immigration judge chose to disregard classified evidence, and he is now a U.S. citizen. (Hamad’s lawyer, Noel Saleh, proudly proclaimed that he—Saleh—financially supported Hezbollah.) -—— “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?,” Debbie Schlussel , Townhall.com, April 26, 2002Townhall.com, April 26, 2002?
Since then, as Midwest Regional Director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Hamad has been busy promoting the terrorist cause—doing interviews throughout the Detroit media supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic hate. -—— “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?,” Debbie Schlussel , Townhall.com, April 26, 2002Townhall.com, April 26, 2002?
And Imad Hamad was regional director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee... and so is linked to this guy:

And another person associated with is :
[* Ellen Barfield :
...Here are a few more choice quotes from Ms Barfield. As you read this, remember she is Vice President of Veterans For Peace, which is yet another Democrat organization that receives money from Heinz-Kerry’s “Tides Foundation”:
“While Hussein has always been politically oppressive to his opponents, he has never been physically oppressive to his people,” said Barfield.”
Marching with a sign calling herself a “pinko, feminist, Irish tree-hugger who believes in the First Amendment,” ADC Dallas Chapter member Ellen Barfield remarked cheerfully, “If I wasn’t spied on already, I should be in the files by tomorrow.”——————31 posted on 05/16/2004 11:50:51 AM PDT by VeniVidiVici [? IS THIS ADC THE SAME ADC AS AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE / ADC ?]
]
Imad Hamad also led a delegation to Syria in 2003, IIRC
Who has a link to the 1997 FR thread about this?
She lied in a sworn statement? She should get the Scooter Libby treatment!
Thanks for this interesting recap of some of the sickening events during the Clinton's reign. Hillary was probably flattered when a terrorist's fund raiser treated her like an important policy expert.
That statement is willfully ignorant .... people with big mouths who ignore reality are dangerous.
Just about any Muslim would want Obama in the White House. After all, to him, the Muslim Call to Prayer is the most beautiful thing he’s ever heard...
The oil-for-food deal was one of the biggest scams in the Middle East (and that’s saying something). Certain personages at the UN made MILLIONS in payoffs from that.
And, apparently, some Russians, as well.
But the report on that can’t be released, of course. . .
She’s tested and ready to work with our enemies on Day One. No on-the-job training required.
Maybe this is one of those “foreign leaders” that endorsed John Kerry, as he had said, in 2004.
Fellas, read posts 60, 62 & a few, thereafter.
Stunning.
I'm wondering how much of what you've posted will ever see the light of day, ever; insofar, as the Liberal-Socialist quisling mediots are concerned? {~strictly rhetorical...}
Hey, perhaps, Frontline could even do a 2 hour *special*?
I've a great title for their "investigative" piece when if and/or they do, too.
..."Hillary's War". :o)
So Hillary was paving the way to the oil—for-food scandal. What what the Clintons got from it?
WH access under the Clintons seems largely to have been restricted to criminals.
What do you bet that her so-called opponent in the GE, John McCain, does not bring this up or any of his good friend’s other foibles?
The Clinton sarogotes will tear him new one over his age, ketting, etc. and all he will come back with is a proposal to stop earmarks (that will NEVER pass a Dem or GOP Congress).
We be doomed.

NEVER FORGET

During the Vietnam War HILLARY RODHAM & WILLIAM CLINTON actively supported our Communist enemy North Vietnam’s push to take over a then Free South Vietnam.
Bringing down a once Free South Vietnamese people a most horrid:

What price is left for we the still Free to pay now..?

Why did the CLINTONS refuse 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990’s to give us our Terrorist Enemy No. 1 OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter before he could hit us real hard here at home..?
