Southfield, Michigan, Terrorist Arrest

(Via PowerLine)

Surprise! Southfield resident and former head of Michigan's chapter of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), Murthanna al-Hanooti, was indicted for working as a spy for Saddam Hussein. (What?! CAIR involved in militant Islam?!) Debbie Schlussel has the story, which you can read for yourself. Apparently the guy has a second family (including a wife) in Iraq.

Of note: Saddam paid for a trip to Iraq through al-Hanooti for several congressmen, including Michigan liberal congressman David Bonior. Sadly, there are also financial ties between al-Hanooti and Michigan Republican congressman Joe Knollenberg, whom Debbie Schlussel names "Hezbollah's Congressman." I was not aware of this fact, and regret that the rare Republican also sometimes engages with these murderous people.
