<p style="font-size:xx-small;">May 10, 2012: Thomas Perez, now the Labor secretary nominee, speaks in
Phoenix.APLabor secretary nominee Thomas Perez was confronted Thursday with
tough questions about an alleged "secret deal" he cut with leaders from
St. Paul, Minn., during his tenure as a top attorney at the
Justice Department.During Perez' confirmation hearing, Sen. Lamar Alexander,
R-Tenn., accused the nominee of "manipulating" the system to get the result
he wanted - and potentially costing taxpayers millions of dollars in the
process.According to a Republican report released earlier this week, Perez
helped persuade St. Paul to drop a contentious lawsuit in exchange for
the Justice Department staying out of whistleblower cases brought against
the city. Perez' "quid pro quo" potentially cost taxpayers as much as
$200 million, the report said."That seems to me to be an extraordinary
amount of wheeling and dealing outside the normal responsibilities of the
assistant attorney general for civil rights," said Alexander, who is the
top Republican on the Senate panel screening Perez' nomination."It seems
you have a duty to the government to collect the money, a
duty to protect the whistleblower who's kind of left hanging in the
wind."Both cases involved the city of St. Paul. The 67-page report states
that the Justice Department's decision to opt out of the whistleblower cases
potentially cost taxpayers as much as $200 million -- the amount the
government could have won ha
e also indicated they have a connection with Dagestan, another restive
Russian region where Islamic militants have gone after Russian targets.The
uncle of the suspects told reporters late Friday morning that one of
the suspects was in fact born in Dagestan, saying this has "nothing
to do with Chechnya" and "Chechens are peaceful people."Craig Albert, an
expert on Chechnya and associate professor at Georgia Regents University,
said any connection between these suspects and the jihadist movement in
Chechnya would have "severe" implications for the U.S.But he also said it
might just be "isolated individualized terror" where the suspects are using
Chechnya ties to "rationalize" violence.The ties between major Islamic extremist
groups and Chechnya, though, are well-documented, particularly pertaining
to extremists' support for the separatists in Chechnya.The Taliban, when
it was in power, was one of the only governments to recognize
Chechnya's independence.An Al Qaeda-tied Chechen warlord named Ibn al-Khattab
was, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, said to have met
with Usama bin Laden during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. He was
killed in 2002 by the Russians.Signs of Islamic radicals fueling unrest
in Chechnya continued to surface. According to the report by the George
Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute, foreign fighters
have flocked to places like Chechnya, Bosnia and others with a jihadi
presence.
