Steve, if Bush loses will we have an arab or a marxist in the white house? Not sure what you mean by this, since in all likelihood we'll have the Bostonian version of Chirac if Kerry wins. Of course, by simply mentioning this, I'm obviously calling Bush's opponents "un-American." Maybe they doth protest a little too much ... Tenchusatsu

Some info on Georges buddy Moammar: Suspect to give details of Libyan plot USATODAY.com to My Yahoo! By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY An American Muslim leader is expected to plead guilty today to accepting illegal payments from Libya as part of a plea bargain in which he will agree to outline his involvement in a plot with Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to kill the Saudi crown prince, a person familiar with the case said Thursday. Abdurahman Alamoudi, founder of the American Muslim Council, is scheduled to appear in federal court in Alexandria, Va. He was named this year in a 34-count indictment that included charges that he accepted thousands of dollars from Libya in violation of U.S. economic sanctions. None of the charges directly links Alamoudi to the alleged assassination plot against Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. But terms of the plea agreement require Alamoudi to cooperate with federal officials investigating the alleged plot, said the person familiar with the case, who asked not to be identified because the allegations are still under investigation. Alamoudi initially provided information about the assassination plan to federal prosecutors as part of plea negotiations in the case, U.S. law enforcement officials have said. In those meetings, Alamoudi told investigators he discussed the plot with Gadhafi twice last year. The discussions took place as Gadhafi was seeking to end U.S. economic sanctions by renouncing Libya's support for terrorism. U.S. officials have acknowledged that they knew Gadhafi might have been plotting against Abdullah but continued talks with him about shutting down Libya's programs aimed at producing weapons of mass destruction. U.S. authorities went ahead with the negotiations while the plot was being investigated because of the importance attached to Libya's disarmament and the fact that the planned attack on Abdullah had been exposed and no longer posed a threat, law enforcement officials familiar with the negotiations said. A separate account of the assassination plan has been provided to Saudi authorities by Col. Mohamed Ismael, a Libyan intelligence officer in Saudi custody. Ismael is accused of funneling money to Saudi dissidents planning to blow up Abdullah's motorcade. "Mr. Alamoudi regrets what happened tremendously," said James McLoughlin Jr., one of Alamoudi's attorneys. "He's going to cooperate fully with the government." Libyan officials have denied any involvement in a plot against the Saudi royal family. Saudi authorities declined to comment on Alamoudi's case Thursday.
