Crazies around the world
OK, so I guess there was a bunch of stuff that happened in the world recently - Ramzi Binalshibh was captured after a shootout during two raids in Karachi, Pakistan. (Wonder if The U.S. will ever see him?) Al-Jazeera broadcasts another "documentary" titled "Top Secret: The Road to September 11" that has Binalshibh on tape talking about the planning, including coded messages. Five men were arrested during a raid on an apartment in Lackawanna, NY that allegedly "disrupted an al Qaeda-trained terrorist cell on American soil." And the three Muslim men that were detained yesterday in Alligator Alley are pissed. Do you blame them? They came up clean and accused the waitress who made the call of "flat-out lying."

Well, of course it's hard to make a call on the Naples, FL incident. Except that I will make one observation. The week after 9/11/01, as my wife and I were driving to work on a major interstate highway, a local police cruiser passed us from the opposite direction, made a U-turn (something I have never seen done on a major thoroughfare, without lights or siren), and followed us very very extremely closely not just a little distance, but all the way through town. At the time, I had a beard about as long as Mr. Gheith's, but since then have cut it shorter; since I'm looking around the job market, it's a matter of marketability, you know. ;)

P.S.-- Sometimes I have a waking dream in which everyone in America has put on a Barney Fife Halloween mask.
