[edit] Global Relief Foundation
I saw you created Global Relief Foundation. I changed the way it references your source. Is the Foundation's ties to terrorism really established, in a court of law, for instance?
The Treasury Department answers to the Attorney General I believe. And the Attorney General in 2002 was John Ashcroft. Ashcroft was not an honest official. He distorted various other terror cases. He claimed, for instance, that his Department helped thwart a plot to blow up Federal buildings in Ottawa. That plot turned out to be a complete fabrication on the part of intelligence officials.
The idea of "six degrees of separation" should be required reading for all US counter-terrorism intelligence officials. -- Geo Swan 14:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Geo, to be honest, I don't know how the case shook out or if charges were ever pressed. A small point: I don't think Treasury answers to Justice and even if they did, we can't really say "Oh, Ashcroft is horrible, everything he does is suspect," even if it's true (and believe me, I am no fan of the guy). An even smaller point: I really don't like ref tags. I noticed you put them on the Hawash article, and here. You might check out policy on those tags. IronDuke 14:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
