From a 2004 article (sub. req.) in The New Republic on Dr. K.A. Paul, House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (R-IL) go-to guy for last minute soul-searching:
Over the past two decades, Kilari Anand Paul, a self-described “Hindu-born follower of Jesus,” has cultivated a peculiar specialty as spiritual adviser to the scum of the earth. Liberia’s Charles Taylor, Yugoslavia’s Slobodan Milosevic, and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein are among the more infamous butchers to talk with Paul about the moral implications of running a brutal, repressive, and occasionally genocidal regime. In fact, Dr. Paul, as everyone calls him (thanks to an honorary degree from Living Word Bible College in Swan River, Manitoba), has counseled scores of corrupt political leaders at all levels of government, as well as warlords, rebels, and terrorists from Mumbai to Manila to Mogadishu. By Paul’s estimate, he has gone mano a mano with the leaders of every significant terrorist and rebel group in the 89 countries where his ministry operates.
