WASHINGTON (AP) - A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.
The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

GJ - I was just trying to recall the weird guy who met with me and a few others when he was campaigning for the House seat. He was sitting at a table in the fellowship area of my church in Sturgis, Michigan. The previous Representative was David Stockman, famous or infamous in the Reagan administration.
Siljander went from being a Falwell trooper to a Muslim apologist. The liberals and academics loved him in his new mode. Now they will cast him as a Reagan Republican.
