Federal Appeals Court Judge Michael Chertoff’s ties to the financiers of the Sept. 11 attacks may prevent his confirmation as Homeland Security Chief.
According to a June 20, 2000 article in the The Record of Bergen County, New Jersey, Chertoff defended accused terrorist financier Dr. Magdy Elamir.
Elamir’s HMO was sued by the State of New Jersey to recoup $16.7 million in losses. At least $5.7 million went “to unknown parties... by means of wire transfers to bank accounts where the beneficial owner of the account is unknown,” according to the article.
Read the whole thing. It's priceless. Nice to know that the Pakastani arms dealers helping Osama and smuggling plutonium are on such good terms with the future head of Homeland Security.
Thanks to Oliver for the tip.
More on the new CIA management and their ties to organized crime, coming here soon. Heads in Europe are tiffed to think the CIA's more worried about Asian than European competition, but given Bu$hCo's shoot-first-and-look-for-WMD-later tendencies, maybe they should be relieved.
Besides, NeoCons have paranoia enough to go around.
