All That's Missing is a Yacht Named "The Duke-Stir"

So much muck for a four-paragraph article...although I'm sure this link will later be updated with an expanded article. To quote David Bowie: "Sordid details following." Here's a taste:

A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

Allegedly, former Congressman Mark Deli Siljander (R-Mich.) was paid more than $50,000 for his lobbying efforts on behalf of the Islamic American Relief Agency. Where did the IARA get this money, you ask? Funny story, that. Allegedly (again with that word!), the money "turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development." Nice! These guys are almost ready to go to work for the DC government, only they need to learn how to spend the money they steal from children on things like fur coats, daytime visits to strip clubs for "planning meetings," and Bentleys.

Of course, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it turns out that this is a legitimate charity that ended up railroaded because some hack at Justice decided there haven't been enough successful "terrorism" prosecutions lately. Just sayin'.
