This not a racist post but I am just wondering
In 1985, Abramoff joined Citizens for America, a pro-Reagan group that helped Oliver North build support for the Nicaraguan contras. Citizens for America staged an unprecedented meeting of anti-Communist rebel leaders known as the Democratic International in Jamba, Angola. This conference included leaders of the Mujahedeen from Afghanistan, UNITA from Angola, the Contras from Nicaragua, and opposition groups from Laos. Out of this largely ceremonial conference came the International Freedom Foundation. Abramoff helped to organize, and also attended the conference.
Abramoff's membership ended on a sour note when Citizens for America's sponsor Lewis Lehrman, a former New York gubernatorial candidate, concluded that Abramoff had spent his money carelessly.
[edit]
Reagan appointment
In 1986, Abramoff was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.

Fesspoint;
Did I said anything bad about Jews or Israel? If I did said something bad about Israel is it a crime? The USA is not quite Israel yet!
Would it be wrong too if I had asked "How many times had the US media mention that Bush is a Christian"?
Are you defending Abramoff?
Maybe the victim was Abramoff and not the American Indians?
I am sorry if I had offended you by asking about a criminal.
