While many were puzzling over the government's announcement that former songbird Cat Stevens is on terrorist watch lists, a hint to his possible terrorist connections came up earlier this month in the trial of attorney Lynne Stewart.

Stevens, 56, became a Muslim and changed his name to Yusuf Islam in the late 1970s.

Evidence presented in Stewart's trial in Manhattan federal court shows radical Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who she represented in 1995, wanted the singer to join a defense committee he was forming in 2000.

On a tape of a secretly wiretapped prison conversation from May 2000, a lively comical discussion ensues as Abdel-Rahman and Arabic interpreter Mohamed Yousry attempt to remember Islam's English stage name.

3. They discovered it by playing "Teaser and the Firecat" backwards

... when the crack security folks did that, they heard him singing, "Bush is an imperialistic puppet moron."
