Democrat Representative Took Trip Paid For By Terrorists

Yikes...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- A trip to Sri Lanka by U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., reportedly paid for by a terrorist group, is under investigation, sources tell the Chicago Tribune.

The 7-day journey by Davis and an aide last year was said to have been funded by the Tamil Tigers, a group the U.S. government designated as a terrorist organization, the Tribune said.

The trip came under scrutiny after 11 supporters of the organization were arrested in an alleged conspiracy to aid the terrorist group through money laundering, arms procurement and bribery.


I'm not buying that Rep. Davis didn't know that this trip was sponsored by the Tigers. Davis himself admitted that he spent of his time in regions controlled by the Tigers, so either Davis knew that the trip was backed by the Tigers and didn't care or he is incredibly naive and couldn't figure it out.

You pick.

Either way, here's a listing of terror attacks carried out by the Tigers, including most recently a bomb attack on a bus carrying civilians which killed 68 and wounded 60.
