Siljander: Al Qaeda's Clay Davis?

Republican ex-Congressman and lobbyist Tom Siljander is indicted for money laundering, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy, based on his ties with the allegedly terrorist-connected Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA). "According to the indictment, the money was stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Siljander lied to federal agents about his role." He is apparently pleading not-guilty. "Siljander, a favorite of religious conservatives, declared war on abortion, pornography, the Equal Rights Amendment and school busing. But he lost his 1986 reelection bid after urging clergy members to support him in order to 'break the back of Satan.'"
