In Up Past Her Eyeballs?

This morning, I came across some information about the Clinton Administration's efforts to stop terrorism. Frankly, what I found startled me. Here's what I found:
Hillary Clinton has worked particularly closely with the head of the AMC, Abdurahman Alamoudi, who has openly collected funds for the legal defense of Mr Marzook, the Hamas chieftain arrested at JFK Airport, and for Mr. Abdel-Rahman, who organized the World Trade Center bombing.
That got me digging into Alamoudi. Here's what I found on him:

ABDURAHMAN ALAMOUDI
  • Founder and executive director of the American Muslim Council
  • Islamic affairs advisor for the Clinton administration
  • "We are all supporters of Hamas...I am also a supporter of Hezbollah."
  • Arrested in 2003 for terrorist fundraising
There's more:
A self-described Muslim moderate, Abdurahman Alamoudi has had many public titles over the years: founder and executive director of the American Muslim Council; Islamic affairs advisor for the Clinton administration; official appointee of the Pentagon in charge of choosing Muslim chaplains; and State Department-selected Goodwill Ambassador to Muslim nations. In stark contrast, Alamoudi's private life has been devoted to supporting and fundraising for a host of anti-American/anti-Israeli terrorist groups and nations, from Hamas and Hezbollah, to Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda, to the Libyan regime of Muammar Qadhafi.
Mr. Alamoudi also contributed to Hillary's senatorial campaign, a contribution she eventually sent back. This brings numerous questions to mind:
  • Did Hillary know what Mr. Alamoudi was all about?
  • Did Hillary know that Mr. Alamoudi supported Hamas and Hezbollah?
  • If she knew that Mr. Alamoudi supported Hamas and Hezbollah, why didn't they run him out of their administration immediately?
  • How extensive of a background check was run on Mr. Alamoudi?
  • What was found out about him through this background check?
  • Considering that Mr. Alamoudi was "openly raising funds for Omar Abdel Rahman, the Blind Sheikh's defense fund after he helped orchestrate the original WTC bombing, shouldn't that have raised a ton of red flags for Mrs. Clinton? Or was it just not that important to her?
Mrs. Clinton has alot of questions to answer on her connections with Mr. Alamoudi. So does President Clinton. I'm betting that they'll do everything they can to avoid answering these questions because their habit is to avoid questions that cast them in a bad light. And make no mistake about it, these questions will make them look very bad, if not totally incompetent in fighting terrorists.
