>>> In June 2001--three months before the September 11 attacks, Al-Arian was briefed by Senior Presidential Advisor Karl Rove on Bush's faith-based agenda and other issues in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. The Secret Service requires White House complex visitors to submit a Social Security number and birth date for the purpose of undergoing a security check which would have revealed that Al-Arian was already under a six-year-long FBI investigation. Al-Arian's group of American Muslim Council members had been scheduled to be briefed by Vice-President Cheney, who canceled at the last minute in the face of a Jerusalem Post front-page story that same morning headlined "Cheney to host pro-terrorist Muslim group." Karl Rove replaced the Vice-President that morning. But no reports offer reasons for the switch in plans.<<< Ain't it amazing what political convenience can do? Rove probably said to the Secret Service agents who might have wanted to do a security check on Al-Arian prior to letting him into the White House complex, "Don't worry, guys, you don't gotta check him--he's with me!" Did Rove know Al-Arian had been under FBI investigation and surveillance for six years? Did Rove care? Whether A-Arian is guilty or innocent of anything doesn't anyone find what was reported above mysterious? And who set this up for Cheney in the first place, and why? And while we're on matters of political convenience, it's impossible not to find the below both mysterious, puzzling and potentially nefarious, if not nefarious already: baltimorechronicle.com
