(CNN) -- A former congressman has been charged in connection with his work for an Islamic charity accused of funneling money to an Afghan warlord, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
...

Siljander "vehemently denies the allegations in the indictment and will enter a not guilty plea," said his attorney, James Hobbs.

...

Siljander is accused of lying to federal agents and prosecutors about his work for the group, which allegedly steered $260,000 to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar -- an ally of the Taliban and al Qaeda.

The United States named Hekmatyar a "specially designated global terrorist" in 2003.

And just think some people are seriously considering Obama. Check out his connections and early education.

I got an email the other day about Obama.

Something along the lines of the church he goes to, only talks about and worships AFRICA. And only talks about giving back to Africa. They have a website, if I can find it I'll post the link.

How can people even want a president who doesn't believe in the better of America?

If I find the email I'll post it.

.....Nevermind, I miust have deleted it

I have a (non-conspiracy) theory that people just want a black or woman president because they believe either getting elected would be attributable to a less racist or sexist society.
People tend to worship new things and new ideas without considering consequences.
It seems quite selfish to me, considering there are at least 3 far better candidates out there and Hillary or Obama.
