I saw a fellow Kossack's diary with a link to FBI archives and realized; I have ties to a 'terrorist' organization. American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has an FBI file. This fall it was revealed that the PA Department of Homeland Security had contracted to an Israeli company that had spied on a number of Organizations, including AFSC. My connection below the fold.
My parents are good friends with Kara Newell (and convinced Friends), the former head of AFSC. They even stayed at her house with my baby sister when parents were househunting in the Philadelphia area. My family moved to Philadelphia because my dad accepted a job with Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (PYM). During 1998 annual sessions of PYM, AFSC material aids was sending Afghans to refugees in Kosovo and I learned to knit and started contributing squares for the Afghans. So there you have it. As a knitter and Quakerpalian (Quaker turned Episcopal), I qualify as a 'terrorist'. It was news to me.
