Default Islamic radical financier arrested in Iraq
FT.com / World - Al-Qaeda ‘financier’ arrested in Iraq

Good news or bad news?

Quote:
The statement said that the man had distributed $50,000 a month – a figure more in line with past reports of al-Qaeda’s financial activities – and employed 40-50 “extremists” to plant improvised explosive devices, or roadside bombs, and paid them $3,000 for each operation.

It also said that he was linked to the purchase of explosives used in the attack on the Golden Shrine at Samarra – a holy Shia site – which escalated the country’s sectarian violence in February 2006.
This guy had received $100 Million from "supporters" all over the place. This guy can raise that kind of cash over the summer and we're supposed to believe support for Islamic radicalism is an insignificant margin of Muslims?

If he is proven guilty, find a piece of short rope, a tall tree, and hang the bastard.

Welcome back, Big D! It's nice to have your sarcastic conservative ass back here! Go visit the flames forum, I bet you'd feel right at home there.
