The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Syed Maswood, a Muslim nuclear engineer who had his home raided by federal agents and is on no-fly lists even though he has not been charged with a crime, "received an invitation to serve as an honorary chairman at a Republican fundraiser with [President George W.] Bush in Washington next month."

Maswood also noted that the last time him and his wife "were in Washington... they were held for hours at the airport."
