It is worth noting that Al-Arian is president of the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom (NCPPF). Other members of the NCPPF (and the organizations to which they've been linked) include the American Muslim Council (Hamas and Hezbollah), Committee for Justice for Nasser Ahmen (Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda), Committee for the Support of Revolution in Peru (Shining Path), friends of Noel Cassidy (Provisional Irish Republican Army), National Committee Against Repressive Legislation (Communist Party USA), National Islamic Prison Foundation (Hamas, Hezbollah), Center for Constitutional Rights (legal defense of a variety of terrorist groups). There are many more.

Thanks for posting this veronica.

Miss Marple, recognize any of these organizations from our conversations regarding recent White House guest lists? The American Muslim Council was in the White House just last month (link), and their sympathizing with and suport of terror orgs has long been a matter of public record (link). Also, recall that Grover Norquist received an award in April of 2001 from Al Arian's NCPPF (link), honoring his efforts to block legislation authorizing the type of evidence gathering finally authorized by the Patriot Act, which led ultimately to Al Arian's indictment.
