		Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, the driving force behind the effort to recall Gov. Gray Davis, was prosecuted with his brother in San Jose in 1980 for allegedly faking the theft of Issa's Mercedes Benz sedan and selling it to a car dealer for $16,000, according to court records.
		Issa also said he didn't recognize the composite sketch but wanted to send a copy of it to his mother to see if she knew the man. Christiansen said he found that unbelievable.
		Issa, who was re-elected to Congress last year, has emerged as a major player in state politics by becoming the main financial backer of the drive to recall Davis.

	Issa says he won't bankroll recall effort
		Darrell Issa is traveling the state to drum up support for the drive to recall Gov. Gray Davis, but yesterday he sought to dampen self-created expectations that he would help finance the sputtering effort and run for governor if it succeeds.
		Issa's comment, however equivocal, comes the closest to an announcement of candidacy of the many political figures who are regarded as likely to consider jumping into the race should the recall effort qualify for the ballot.
		Issa said the recall is warranted because Davis deliberately concealed the magnitude of the state budget deficit before the election.

	Issa sets sights on reforms in government \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Issa now wants state government reform – perhaps a Legislature that is part-time and free of term limits, and political districts that are drawn by citizens instead of lawmakers.
		Some of the changes Issa is exploring would benefit his Republican Party, which holds a minority of seats in the statehouse and the California congressional delegation.
		Issa said the time may be ripe for government reform, in part because the public holds state lawmakers in such low regard.

		Douglas Franz, Issa's outside accountant at the time, said in a recent interview that there was no financial motive to start the fire and that Issa had been prudent in beefing up insurance coverage for the growing business.

		Because while the media have presented Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the wealthy car-alarm magnate, as the man who drove the recall, he's actually been little more than a useful idiot for a stealthy group of GOP operatives who laid the groundwork.
		Issa enthusiastically stepped forward to form his own recall committee, Rescue California, with $1.7 million from his personal fortune.
		His services were retained by Issa's Rescue California to develop an anti-Davis strategy based on focus-group research conducted in Orange and Sacramento counties.

		Jihad Darrell's chief of staff claims I'm an "unwitting dupe." But it appears the only "unwitting dupes" are those who voted for him in the last election.
		Issa was aware of the Tehran Times piece at the time it came out – at least two weeks before I wrote my column.

	Schlussel: Darrell Issa: Traitor, or useful idiot?
		During a just-concluded trip to the Middle East, Jihad Darrell announced that terrorist group Hezbollah is legitimate and has never been involved with terrorist activities, according to the Teheran Times, IRNA (the official Iranian news agency), and the Beirut Daily Star.
		Issa also hung out in Syria, the country which sanctions Hezbollah and other terrorist groups, and which allowed Hezbollah to get its explosives through security checkpoints to kill the 241 U.S. Marines.
		If he sounds familiar, Jihad Darrell is the same congressman who threw a temper tantrum, screaming about profiling, when he showed up an hour late for an Air France flight, with a suspicious one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia, and was refused entry to the already boarded plane.

	Darrell Issa: Pillar of Virtue - A BuzzFlash Reader Commentary
		This is the continuing mindset as the LA Times on June 30 takes recall creator and now gubernatorial candidate Rep. Darrell Issa apart on a big ol' pile of his claims.
		Issa, who served two stints in the military, first as an enlisted man and later as an officer, has said that he was an Army computer research and development specialist.
		Asked earlier this month about that arrest, Issa told a Times reporter that the gun was an "unloaded, never-fired, in-the-box, little teeny pistol" and said it wasn't his, although he declined to say whose it was.

		Darrell Issa (R-Vista) — funder of the recall effort and the only announced candidate to replace Davis — might be the contemporary, real-life version of Frank Sinatra’s "Manchurian Candidate." Instead of communists, Issa’s allies are radical Islamists and supporters of terrorism against Americans, Israelis, Christians and Jews.
		Issa’s January 2003 actions regarding Israelis captured by Hezbollah asserted the terrorist group’s moral equivalence with Israel.
		On Oct. 31, 2001, the London Arabic newspaper, Al-Hayat, reported, "U.S. Congressman of Lebanese origin Darrell Issa, during his recent visit to Beirut in the mid of October," conveyed a proposal to Hezbollah leadership to remove Hezbollah from the State Department’s terrorist list and "normalize U.S. relations with" the group.

	Online NewsHour: House Republicans and President at Odds Over Ports Deal -- March 8, 2006
		Issa, which is: Do you think that if Dubai Ports World, as a company itself, just took itself out of this, decided not to follow through on this contract, withdrew from it, would this by itself defuse this and let the president off the hook, perhaps?
		DARRELL ISSA: Well, it probably would for this particular episode, but for me personally, because I haven't -- no one's made a case of why Dubai isn't an ally or why they shouldn't get this contract, if other foreign countries have these contracts.
		But then I do think what Darrell is saying is, as we have increased globalization of our economy, from the clothes we wear, from the food we eat, from the arms that we equip our military with, you have lots of foreign components.
