What was Brian David Anderson doing in Spain, where he was arrested? "Canadian arrested in terror probe," from Associated Press:
MADRID, Spain - Spanish police have arrested a Canadian man suspected of helping finance Islamist terrorist activities, authorities said Monday.
Brian David Anderson, 61, is wanted by U.S. authorities for fraud and is believed to have helped finance a training camp in Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. He was arrested in a Madrid hotel thanks to joint collaboration with the FBI, the ministry said.
It said Anderson is thought to be linked to a New York businessman, Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, 53, who was charged last month with terrorism financing, material support of terrorism and money laundering. Alishtari has pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Alishtari may have thought this would be the perfect way to cover his tracks:
Alishtari donated $20,000 in 2003 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm for Republican senators, and more than $15,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm for Republican House members.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee said last month it was donating the money to a foundation that provides housing for families of wounded soldiers on the grounds of military and Veterans' Administration hospitals.
Jessica Boulanger, a spokeswoman for the NRCC, said the committee is awaiting the outcome of Alishtari's case, and if he is found guilty, the money it received would be donated to charity.
The money should be donated to jihadwatch.org
What can one say about something this disgusting. Perhaps maybe all of these Republican money whores of affirmative action might DONATE THE MONEY NOW TO A WOUNDED UNITED STATES SOLDIER?????????
For goodness sake, they let D'Souza in to serve Reagan for affirmative action to add some "color" and look what a disaster he is in ruining the Hoover Institution and clouding the debate.
The Conservative caucus is being paid bribes by "Muslims" and hiring flunkies to prove they are multi cultural.
With this money, the way they destroyed all of the hard work real Conservatives did with Ronald Reagan in trying to take America back to the Republic, all I can do is refer to them as ilk it is so disgusting.
I hope to God He moves someone to get into the Republican race for the White House who is an American, because Republicans have nothing but pretenders now and Democrats have a wimp in Edwards, a communist hatchet maul in Hillary and Obama is so D'Souza slick that I wouldn't be a bit surprised they were Siamese dolts at birth and were seperated.

Swiss paper says former Taliban defense minister free
"The news is not true," SonntagsBlick wrote. "The world press reported: top-Taliban imprisoned. At the same time he was sitting with a SonntagsBlick reporter having coffee."
From a newspaper article I read today, the Canadian was also a Baptist minister. Apparently, he was involved in a Ponzi scheme to bilk investors. He seems to have been in it for the money and not support for the ideology of providing money for terrorist training camps -- or is that just his lawyer talking?
Looking at the face of this, this sounds like it is going to get bigger over the next month.
