If the '93 bombing was the work of Al Qaeda and Salem infiltrated the terrorists who carried out the '93 bombing, then Salem infiltrated Al Qaeda.

Good point. I forget whether it was the trial for the '93 WTC bombing or the trial a couple of years after of the blind sheikh and his accomplices for some further bombing plots that never got carried into action, but some of the defendants at one of those trials were black and Hispanic converts to Islam. Who says al Qaeda can't be infiltrated?

Absolutely. But given the low voter turnout in the last few elections, "reaching" even a few percentage points of actual, legal, voters in a few states would make a huge difference.

Do you remember the stories I posted from ME sources quoting Mubarak's allegations that the blind sheik got preferential treatment for US visas because he was CIA?
