Deroy Murdock: Difference between revisions

He stated on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" on September 16, 2007 that he believes [[Saddam Hussein]] was involved in perpetrating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America. Murdock cited ''Smith v. Islamic Emirate of Afg''., 262 F. Supp. 2d 217[http://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/courtweb/pdf/D02NYSC/03-04142.PDF], a federal case heard by U.S. District Judge [[Harold Baer, Jr.]]. On May 7, 2003, Judge Baer ruled that [[Saddam Hussein]] and his Baathist government, as well as [[al-Qaeda]] and the [[Taliban]], provided "material support" to the September 11 conspirators. Judge Baer, who was appointed to the federal bench by President William Jefferson[[Bill Clinton]] in April 1994, ordered Hussein, the former Iraqi government, and the other losing defendants in this civil case to pay $104 million in damages to the families of George Eric Smith and Timothy Soulas, both murdered in the Twin Towers. Murdock details this case, and presents extensive additional evidence of Saddam Hussein's philanthropy of terror on a webpage he developed called HUSSEINandTERROR.com[http://www.husseinandterror.com].
