Computer Thief No Terrorist

Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Larry Craig, R-Idaho, wants you to know that the suspect arrested and charged with stealing a computer from a Veterans Affairs contractor with personal information on thousands of people, is not a terrorist. Here is Craig in a press release issued last week:

"I am told that this is not related to the war in Iraq or to terrorism. It appears to be a simple theft. Investigators believe the alleged thief took the customized computer in order to record music."

So why in this particular computer theft case did the question of terrorism or Iraq creep in? Perhaps it's because the suspect’s name: Khalil Abdullah-Raheem.--Daniel Pulliam
