on the Republican leadership, now reeling from the indictment of House Republican Leader Tom DeLay and the imminent indictments coming down from the Plame Grand Jury.

What is less well understood is that Ambramoff also served as the registered Washington lobbyist for the Government of Pakistan and is a fixer for Saudi moneymen tied to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Abramoff is further implicated in the financial looting of giant Tyco International, a case that has ties to the Bush Justice Department.

Abramoff is close to most of the Republican leadership, and they have greatly benefited from that relationship. His ties include: President Bush; U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay; Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania; party strategist Grover Norquist; and former Christian Coalition executive director and Bush campaign official, Ralph Reed.
Such close ties may soon turn out out to be a fatal embrace for these Republican leaders as details of Abramoff's multifaceted web of corruption become clear.

Urgent recommend ...
This needs to be a top story of the day.
And people need to realize that the reason that the 9/11 attacks were never fully investigated was not for tinfoil reasons like "CIA planned it," but because too many al-Qaeda players have too many suspicious links to the president, members of the Bush Administration and to prominent Republicans.
The 9/11 trail leads directly back to rich Saudis who are playing an extremely complicated game of their own on their home turf, waging a proxy war with extremists, etc., etc., etc.
The problem that the Bush Administration has is that the whole lot of them are up to their neck in influence from the send Saudis who pumped and continue to pump money into Islamic extremism around the world.
The Abramoff story is chapter 1,342 of the book.

There is a lot here we already know but as more info becomes public, we will begin to see how this web was intricately designed and managed. We will also see how these traitors, once exposed, will find themselves prosecuted and convicted...caught in their own web.
Stay tuned.
