Former Republican Congressman Mark Siljander was indicted today on charges of money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Siljander took money from the Islamic American Relief Agency, which finances al-Qaida and Taliban supporters, to lobby for them in Congress. It turns out the $50,000 he got paid was actually stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development. When asked, he obviously lied about the lobbying and the money and tried to hide it because that totally never makes the situation worse so he’s going down and we can now officially report that Republicans a Republican supported al-Qaida! Who’s not being patriotic now, huh? Huh? [AP via Atrios]
