The current president's brother seems to have a lot of Communist-Islamic pals as well. From the Associated Press last April:

A decade after his ties to a failed savings and loan brought his family unwanted attention, Neil Bush is crisscrossing the globe promoting a company with a mission to transform the way children are taught.

The president's brother has raised at least $18 million in capital for his Ignite startup from investors from as far away as Egypt and Japan. Along the way, he has been entertained by a crown prince in the Middle East, wined, dined and serenaded by China's president and joined by top members of the Bush administration in meetings with educators in the United States.

Last month, he spoke at the Florida Educational Technology Conference, along with U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige and top state education officials and industry executives. In Washington, he co-chaired a January education technology industry meeting on federal policy where the guest speakers included Paige and Phil Bond, the undersecretary of commerce for technology. Bush counts two of the president's former technology advisers, Peter Su and Robert Stearns, on his Ignite team.

Protected by Secret Service agents, Neil Bush travels an average of two or three days a week. He took a Red Sea vacation in March 2001 with Egyptian business magnate Hamza El Khouli, an Ignite investor. ``It's a good company, a sound company, an investor in education,'' El Khouli said.

Bush visited the Dubai crown prince, Gen. Shayk Muhammad Bin-Rashid Al Maktum, in the United Arab Emirates in October. Bush said he is not pursuing business opportunities there, although the prince has a program that installs computers in schools.

Chinese President Jiang Zemin threw a private dinner for Bush in Beijing in December, even serenading him at one point with a military song he learned as a youth, one of those present said. The meeting drew the attention of the South China Morning Post, which headlined its story: ``Private meal leaves Jiang feeling brotherly.''

Bush declined to discuss the visit but said he is interested in U.S.-China relations. His father was President Ford's envoy to China. ``If I had any meetings with top-level China officials, the word Ignite never came into any conversation,'' he said.

Bush occasionally dabbles in international affairs. Speaking at a Saudi Arabian economic forum in January, a venue where former President Clinton also spoke, Bush referred to growing anti-American sentiment in Arab countries and said the two peoples must communicate better.

Call me when Neil takes quarter million dollar loans from communists and reveals to them classified documents.

Other than that, you're making a mountain out of a convenient and utterly paranoid molehill.

Is he selling secrets? What exactly do you think he's doing that's illegal? He appears to be looking for investors from many countries that are NOT Muslim.

I Musta' left my tinfoil hat in my other pants.

So which great candidate for president did you vote for in 2000?

neil's daughter is dating a palestinian/american who studies at princeton (and he's been a leader in the israeli divestiture movement at the school)..she's very very and a model so i certainly think she could do much better.
