American, Jewish, and telecommunications expert does NOT lend to infiltrating an Al-Qaeda cell cold.

With my tinfoil hat firmly in place: Nick could of acted like he was a naive idealistic cell phone repair man with an ANSWER dad to make AQ think they could turn him. He offers to AQ to be the lookout on cell phone towers, but in reality he's getting intel to report back to the CIA.

Granted, I don't believe that. But this is getting weird.

He wasn't CIA. Our FBI would have never bothered to interview his family here in the U.S. last month if he was CIA. He wouldn't have been in Iraq with an American passport that had an Israeli visa stamp in it, either.

He may have been what he said that he was: a simple contractor in Iraq. He may, big may, have been working for terrorists (knew Moussoui in college, has an Iraqi in-law, has an ANSWER dad, worked on tall towers at Abu Ghraib prison while the Iraqi insurgents were shelling it, etc.).
