Ty, if you are going to lecture me then you ought to at least firm up the point that you made, and on which we disagreed. I didn't say the FBI had finally established some brilliant method of determining who was funding terrorists. I said that Cat was deported, I believed, because of his donations to charities that support (yes, I should have said "are believed to support") terrorists, and not because of his position on Rushdie, as you suggested.
Nothing you say suggests that he was barred because of what he said about the fatwa against Rushdie. You agree that it was because of donations. You (appropriately) question whether that is too broad a net, but that's different than saying it was because of what he said about Rushdie.

The Cobourn (sp?) point wasn't directed at you, FWIW. Nor did I think you necessarily disagreed with me re donations, but your post was the springboard for mine. Maybe he gave money to bad people in order to fund them to do bad things, but maybe he gave money with the best of intentions to an apparently legitimate charity, without any knowledge of what they later did with it.

Plus, he did bring it on himself. Anyone who could walk away from that kind of talent should be beaten with sticks. I bet he's not even allowed to watch Harold & Maude, for god's sake.

Was he really talented, or just a one-hit wonder? I won't pretend to know.
