Ghadry is a post 9-11 creation of the Israeli Neo-Con Lobby, who rounded up various Hustlers such as corrupt indicted businessman Ahmed Chalabi of Iraq, jail-house snitch Amir Abbas Fakhravar of Iran, & Farid Ghadry, (who left Syria as a child & who is on his 3rd Citizenship, (Syrian, then Saudi, now US). Ghadry is the only Arab in the World supporting Israel's Likud Party & who wants a US invasion of Syria. If there was an Olympics for Traitors then Ghadry would get the Gold Medal!
