Patrick Poole, on Pajamas Media, reports that, although the State Department maintains that the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax, Virginia, is independent of the Saudi embassy, this does not appear to be the case. The school had a charter at one time, but apparently has been operating without one since 2004. Nor has it either paid taxes or filed for tax-exempt status.
As the head of the school supervisory board in Fairfax County is also running for Congress, his handling the school (he characterized criticism of it as slander) has become a political issue. And Congressional pressure on State is mounting. Frank Wolf, head of the House State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, wrote to Condi Rice that "The State Department is not doing its duty."
