Nita,

Here are some articles posted on FR (with links to paste)that I promised you about Hamas and the Holy Land Foundation. In these articles you will find reference to the fact that the FBI knew of the improper fundraising activities by Holy Land for Hamas since 1993. And in the first article, the phrase “ long overdue decision” (shown in capital letters by me) is made to characterize the GW Bush decision to move against Hamas illegal fund raising activities in the US implying that he or the FBI knew but delayed longer than should have been delayed.

Several months ago even Newt Gingrich complained that GW Bush had not initially put Hamas on the terrorist list of assets to freeze. After three months of delay GW finally did what Gingrich had complained Bush did not do but should have done. Clinton should also have done it sometime between 1993 and 2001. There is an article on the Gingrich letter of complaint to Bush that was posted on FR in September 2001.

Not So Holy After All

“LAST WEEK President Bush made a LONG - OVERDUE DECISION. He ordered the closing of the Holy Land Foundation, a front for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, headquartered in Richardson, Texas, with branch offices in Paterson, N.J., Bridgeview, Ill., and San Diego. The Holy War Foundation would be more like it”

Please see replies #74 and #75.

Thanks for your response. You went to a lot more trouble answering my question than I expected, much to my regret. I wish I could tell you that I intend to read all those articles you so graciously provided, but I'd be lying if I said it. I do promise I'll bookmark this thread, though. Maybe when my life slows down a little and/or I get motivated to delve into all this stuff again...

I think we're witnessing a strong case of Freep burnout. ;-)

Happy New Year, Pat.
