Former Republican Rep. Mark Deli Siljander from Michigan is being charged with being part of a ring that sent $260k to a Taliban Warlord.
Sounds treasonous to me. |

I was kind of wondering where the heck this is coming from (seemed like a lot of info was missing), and saw this linked to on Drudge:

If they hang him for supporting terrorism, they may as well hang everyone else in Washington D.C.

"Big Time Scandal??" He is a washout and a has-been. He hasn't held office in the last 20 years. How convenient of you to leave that fact out, bumbles.

Well, it would be extremely appalling if they did this while serving in office. Unless, of course, they were from Louisiana- I mean, heck, could you imagine a scandal with a politician from Louisiana where folks just didn't go "Hey, he's from Louisiana, what do you expect?".

It doesn't matter what party he is. But it doesn't help the Republican party to have another scandal dropped in their lap.

Well clearly if one Republican did something bad, we ought to hold the entire party responsible.

HIGHLY doubtful, but keep dreaming. Just face it, if you had it your way, the FBI wouldn't even be able to do utilize the methods that they employ. You're just a typical liberal, bumbles. You piss and moan about the Patriot Act and domestic spying. But when the shit hits the fan and the FBI busts a potential terrorist ring in the US, you are perfectly okay with it.

You going to sit around and wait for the next President to stop this practice? Please. Last edited by furo; 01-16-2008 at 07:29 PM. |

Actually none of us our sure which methods was employed in bringing about this bust. I'm going to make the assumption that the FBI used legitimate methods. If not, I'm sure we will hear about it at trial or barring that during the appeal process.

What do you consider an "illegitimate" method, Alin?

OJ Simpson is having legal problems again. The whole of the NFL is going to rock on it's heels from this scandal!!!
So will the entire black community...and orange juice makers in Florida.
