Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari pleaded not guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to charges that include terrorism financing, material support of terrorism and money laundering.

1. Oh, I thought this was in reference to his Repug donations

Now I see he was funding other terrorist as well. No real surprise there.

2. Just another Capitalist entrepenuer!

The al Qaeda division of Haliburton.

3. I consider this a shrewd vertical integration

They are ruthless corporate hatchet men after all.

It seems they have boiled down their mission to providing the terror and selling the weapons to fight it, so why bother with all of the convoluted social manipulation and black ops to get one to produce the other, when you can just BUY the conflict then SELL the weapons?

5. And root the whole thing in America's Middle-class Jobs-base.

Not Military mind you, but all of those civilian war profiteers making mortgage payments on their McMansions.
