they have in common? James Sensenbrenner (R-5-WI) met with Al Shamal Islamic Bank founding member and shareholder Saleh Kamel whose bank was co-founded by terrorist leader Osama bin Laden who invested $50 million in the Khartoum, Sudan
Eyebrows could also have been raised during his 28 years in office if voters in Sensenbrenner’s district had realized that he accepted thousands of dollars in contributions from companies in which he owned large blocks of stock when he was running for office unopposed—that is, with no challenger from another political party.
The Wisconsin Republican’s votes against the U.S. military are staggering in that he voted against a $213 million bill to fund veteran medical care (HR 2099—roll call 829), against a $250,000 life insurance policy for soldiers in combat (HR 4200—roll call 193), against a $1,500 bonus for troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan (HR 3289—roll call 554), and against making the earned income tax credit permanent for troops (HR 785—roll call 469) even as his concentration of defense company stocks profited his portfolio immensely from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While federal prosecutors may have interest in Congressman Sensenbrenner’s relationship with an individual who financed world terrorism and then hired Jack Abramoff to help foster the spread of Islamic banking and finance in America despite ties to illegal political campaign bribery and money laundering, it is more likely that voters in his district could allegedly question whether he was meeting with Saleh Kamel for the purpose of laying the groundwork to assume Abramoff’s place as a lobbyist for Islamic banking in order to further enhance his stock portfolio and personal fortune after leaving office.institution.
