George and Laura Bush with Sami Amin Al-Arian during the 2000 campaign in Florida. Al-Arian is charged with 50 counts of terrorism. Al-Arian even went to a White House briefing with Karl Rove.

From The St. Petersburg Times (Florida) March 11, 2003:

"The rumpled, balding figure was spotted darting into the offices of Republican power broker Grover Norquist last July... Sami Al-Arian emerged more than two hours later... Al-Arian was visiting the Islamic Institute, a Muslim outreach group cofounded by Norquist and housed within his office suite."

"In June 2001, Al-Arian was among members of the American Muslim Council invited to the White House complex for abriefing by Bush political adviser Karl Rove. The next month, the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom - a civil liberties group headed by Al-Arian - gave Norquist an award for his work to abolish the use of secret intelligence evidence in terrorism cases, a position Bush had adopted in the 2000 campaign."

Why did Rove arrange the WH to court the Muslim community, when from the beginning of the administration Bush insisted he is not interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Oil?

TAMPA - Jurors in the federal trial of Sami Al-Arian got a gripping introduction to the defendant Tuesday.

The former University of South Florida professor has not yet spoken in court, but he said plenty Tuesday when the prosecution played a videotape of a rally in Cleveland in 1991.

Now remember in 2000 Sami Al-Arian was one of the driving forces that pushed 40,000 out of the 50,000 Muslim voters in Florida to vote Bush over Gore... Because he said Bush was BETTER for Muslims than Gore
