Ex-Congressman indicted in Terrorism-Funding Case

This is a fascinating case which will bear close watching. A number of Islamic charities have been designated organisations that finance terrorism. It would be better to read the allegations in the Washington Post article than to repeat them here, because a quick read of the piece suggests some stretching of definitions as has occurred elsewhere in the prosecuton of Islamic charities. There is another case in Texas, at least part of which is being retried at present.The reader should work out the issues for her or himself.
