"On February 2, 1995 Wahhaj was referred to -- by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White -- as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in a 1993 plot to bomb New York City landmarks, hatched by Omar Abdel Rahman, the 'Blind Sheik' who was sentenced to life in prison."
You might consider that it's a celebration party for the conviction of Lynn Stewart, the "sting" worked... But hey, I'm not invited, so the best I can do is extrapolate & insinuate.
Maybe Jeff Gannon/Guckert will cover the conference and let us know.
Yeah Yeah... now we're getting close to Spook land... the "blind sheik" is connected to an organization that backs AQ, and that group is doing the WH for lunch and a seminar.
*They are going to a conference at the WH!*
Is anyone home? Knock Knock!
The "terrorists" are knocking on the WH door.
And the door IS open....
This is not the same organization Richard Perle spoke to last year, that group is being investigated for financing Saddam Hussein's war on Iran: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A58296-2004Jan28?language=printer that organiztion is know as the Iranian-American Community of Northern Virginia.
Ollie North lives right down the road... [heh!] ~~

PipeLineNews: Radical Muslim Group to Participate in White House Conference

The following was released today by William A. Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz of PipeLineNews:
Radical Muslim Group to Participate in White House Conference By William A. Mayer & Beila Rabinowitz - PipeLineNews
Washington DC - PipeLineNews - Demonstrating the administration's sometimes spotty ability to coordinate America's war on terror -- on a government-wide basis -- the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has invited a representative from the radical Islamist organization ISNA -- Islamic Society of North America -- to participate in a "White House Leadership conference" scheduled March 1, 2005.
The conference is a follow-up to one held the previous year where the group was encouraged to submit names of groups which "would benefit from the conference and the funding for faith based initiatives."
ISNA should not be an unknown quantity in official Washington. It appears as one of 25 Islamist organizations whose corporate tax returns were requested by Senator Grassley's Finance Committee in 2003. Also listed among those organizations is the Holy Land Foundation which was been shut down by the Department of Justice because of its direct funding of terrorism.
ISNA's radical bent is well documented, its past president, Muzamil Siddiqi supports Hamas and has made statements threatening the United States because of its support for Israel.
ISNA's former VP is Siraj Wahhaj.
On February 2, 1995 Wahhaj was referred to -- by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White -- as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in a 1993 plot to bomb New York City landmarks, hatched by Omar Abdel Rahman, the 'Blind Sheik' who was sentenced to life in prison.
ISNA operates hundreds of US Mosques through an "arm's length distance" relationship with the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) and as such seems instrumental in channeling Saudi Wahhabist money into the country. Non-Wahhabi American Muslims estimate that fully 80 percent of US Mosques have fallen under the dominion of the Wahhabi sect.
ISNA should be considered an umbrella organization, a clearinghouse of sorts, which facilitates relationships between Islamists. ISNA is also closely allied with the Muslim Student Association, another of the groups listed on the Senate Finance Committee's IRS request.
Denoting possibly either a circling of the wagons mentality over this embarrassing breach in security, or a complete lack of concern, numerous calls to both the majority and minority sides of the Senate Finance Committee as well as Jim Towey's WH Office of Faith Based Programs have been unreturned.
