Jobs Americans Won't Do - Do we need more immigrants to do work, or do they stifle technological advances?

Mohammar Qadhafi claims that Iran has no nuclear weapons? This comes on the heels of the Saudi foreign ambassador being pulled out of Libya over suspicions of a Libyan assassination plot centering around Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi against Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. What's really going on in Libya right now?

Here is World Net Daily's take on al-Amoudi.

• As leader of the American Muslim Council, he frequently met with senior Clinton and Bush administration officials, including a 2001 meeting with Karl Rove to discuss the White House's faith-based initiative.

Front Page mag offers this:

• While it is only in the last few weeks that Abdul Rahman Alamoudi of the American Muslim Council (AMC) has been arrested on federal terror charges, his dubious preferences have been public for long. In tune with his known sentiments, he had thundered at an October 28, 2000 anti-Israel rally in Washington that ‘I wish they added I am a supporter of Hizbollah.’

And then there's this:

• The current President Bush catapulted al-Amoudi's credibility sky high by casting him as a moderate Muslim leader at a highly publicized 'national prayer day' on September 14, 2001 (three days after 911).

Which is corroborated here by the Fox News Channel:

• One of the leaders invited to appear with Bush was Abdurahaman Alamoudi, the president of the American Muslim Council. Three days after the hijackings, Alamoudi joined Bush at a prayer service dedicated to the victims of the attack.

Is there a "War on Terror"??
