Be pissed off, be VERY pissed off.

You must head over to Miss Kelly's and read the story she's uncovered about a certain Russell Hanks currently posted to the US embassy in Nabuja Nigeria in the Political Section.

The Nigerian newspaper Daily Triumph has quoted the illustrious Mr. Hanks thus:

...The counsellor who made the disclosure at a dinner parts organized by the US embassy for selected Muslims for breaking their fast on Tuesday, stated that the very foundation of democracy laid by America’s founding fathers was based on Islamic influence essentially from the Middle East.

The Daily Triumph (a wholy owned organ of the Nigerian government) appears to be a real newspaper.
