Only Congressman Who Actively Supports Terror is Republican

Well, neocons, congratulations; You've routed out the first congressman who actively supported terrorist organizations, then lied about it. There's only one teeny tiny little issue:

He's a Republican.

From the story:

A former Michigan congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday on charges of being part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to a supporter of al-Qaida and the Taliban.

Mark Deli Siljander, a Michigan Republican when he was in the House, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

The 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying -- money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Siljander, from southwestern Michigan, served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 1980s and was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations for one year in 1987.

Fred Upton defeated him in the 1986 primary.

Siljander could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday, and his attorney in Kansas City, J.R. Hobbs, had no immediate comment.

The charges are part of a long-running case against the charity, which had been based in Columbia, Mo. In 2004, the Treasury Department designated the charity as a suspected fundraiser for terrorists.

Wow. You guys just have to have everything, don't you? What next won't you become outstanding hypocrites on?
