The American Muslim leader charged with smuggling $340,000 out of Libya was suspected of funneling cash from Osama bin Laden to blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman in the failed 1993 attempt to blow up New York City landmarks, The Post has learned.

"AMC gives money to McKinney on 9/11/2001, Hillary! campaign for Senate in 2000."

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet (skimmed it), but when Hillary was confronted with this contribution, she lied and said she thought it was a contribution from the American Museum Council. She had a hard time explaining her picture with one of the Arab's she was meeting with.

"All of this going down at the same time Egypt releases 900 colleagues of Sheikh Abdel Rahman."

and why do we give Egypt any money???

Not only did Alamoudi contribute to Clinton...he also worked for the Clinton State Dept. as a speaker..

Take Alamoudi. The State Department chose him as a speaker and sent him abroad after Alamoudi donated money to the campaign of President Bill Clinton. Critics said he was kept as a speaker even when he was found to have been linked to Hamas, on the State Department list of terrorist organizations. Alamoudi said he opposes all sorts of terrorism.

In the end, Alamoudi's contributions were returned as officials scrambled for an explanation. "In evaluating this person or any person as a potential speaker," Boucher said last week, "we would look at the views that they had expressed and decide whether, in light of those views, we felt the person could be an honest discussant of the situation in the United States and, to the extent necessary, U.S. policy."

The suspected bin Laden bag man was hired by the Clinton State Department a year after President Clinton turned down an offer from the government of Sudan for the al Qaeda chief's arrest and extradition to America.

Alamoudi remained on the State Department payroll right up through the 2000 election, a period during which President Clinton reportedly declined at least two additional offers to have bin Laden taken into custody.

Geez...look who else's name popped up...

Bonior is seeking funds from all communities, traveling across the country to try and come up with a respectable counter to the effort to unseat him. Recently, in Falls Church, Virginia, a group invited to a fund-raiser for Bonior’s campaign by Abdul Rahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Foundation raised a significant amount in one evening. Similar efforts are going forward elsewhere.

Finally, an answer to why BJ Clinton let Bin Laden off the hook.
911 is truly Clinton's legacy, you lib lurkers out there.

David Bonior was a real rat. While the war on terror was just starting, he was objecting to everything being proposed. And this was based purely on political motives: Michigan has (one of) the largest population(s) of Arab/Iraqi citzens outside of the Mid-East...and as such, he completely put his interests ahead of the security of this country. This is again, turning out to be another case in which the Democrats support (and vice-versa) the enemies of this country, ala Carter/Soviets and Clinton/Chinese/N. Korea.

More on Bonior:

At the time, the younger Al-Arian was serving as an intern for former Rep. David Bonior, the Michigan Democrat whose failed gubernatorial run last November marked an end (hopefully) to his wretched political career. Now a teacher at Wayne State University in Detroit, "Baghdad Bonior" (as he became known after his treasonous trip to Iraq last fall with Washington Rep. Jim McDermott), was a leading opponent of anti-terrorist legislation during his tenure as Democratic House Whip. Bonior's response to Abdullah Al-Arian's White House dismissal was unsurprising due to his tradition of coddling Muslims (with votes in mind, no doubt, as his constituency included one of the largest Arab and Muslim populations in the country). Said Bonior,

"There have been too many instances where Muslims have been stopped, harassed or discriminated against for no apparent reason. This happens in airports, on our highways, and now we see it happens in the [George W.] Bush White House."

It was later revealed that Bonior had received a $3,200 campaign donation by none other than…Sami Al-Arian. Criticized roundly for his intimate relationships with suspected terrorists, Bonior (who also received a $1000 donation from noted Hamas sympathizer Abdurahman Alamoudi) became downright indignant, even refusing to return the $3,200 to Al-Arian. "This isn't about money, it's about politics," he said. ‘I stand by people and communities."

Wait a second! Where are they getting "wealthy Saudi scion..."

A bit back I found that the "Amoudi" family is one of two "clans" that owns the Saudi business "Delta Oil."

Someone here pointed out that another poster found that this Amoudi is a "cousin" to the clan. Or something like that.

You would need a Cray computer to sort out and keep track of all the Islamofascist shakers and leaders and just plain old Islamokazis.

I think that was Betty Jo, and that the other family was the Mahfouzes.

Who else donated or received $'s from this guy.

This could be why the Wilson Plame Out bs hit the news this weekend. All of this plus the Gitmo news re the Islamokazi traitors in the military could find its way back to America and the rats.

Excellent summary and challenge to the left wing mediots of America.
