Where's Mansoor? I haven't seen him lately Fox News. Any word on where he is these days?
Except that a few months ago he filed a report which stated positively UBL was in Iran.
But that's a damn good juicy rumor!
And much of what he says he doesn't know. I have been watching him for two years and have yet to see him make a correct prediction. Has he made any, because I'd certainly like to know what it is. He always comes on the air breathless as if he just got some huge scoop handed to him and then nothing every comes of it.
Don't you ever lock your doors?! I can't believe your homeowners insurance policy would pay for all the damages if Pickles Heinz-Kerry and Mrs. Shamu Edwards joined in.
Hillbilly.. guess that's me.. ;oP~~~~~
He's opened a Kebab Shop in Sydney...It's called "Silence of the Lambs."
MANSOOR IJAZ: One way to alienate moderate Muslims - deport Cat
The Christian Science Monitor

LONDON (CSM) - Cat Stevens, the pop artist best known for his songs "Wild World" and "Morning Has Broken" in the 1960s and 70s, was detained onboard a flight from London to Washington when US transportation and immigration officials flagged his Muslim name, Yusuf Islam, on a security watch list that tracks known terrorist groups and their followers. He stands accused of associating with one or more of the banned entities on that list, and of providing funds to certain ones (Hamas allegedly among them) known to support terrorism in the Middle East.
As an American-born Muslim of Pakistani heritage and a strong supporter of the Bush administration's essential thesis that it is better to go after the terrorists wherever they hide than to let them migrate to our shores and attack us, I am outraged by the actions of our government in detaining and deporting Mr. Islam. I do not and have never condoned the terrorist activities of Hamas in Israel or anywhere else, nor have I ever supported such groups with a penny of my money.
But Mr. Islam's expulsion from the US shows how ill-equipped the Bush administration still is - three years after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 - to ferret out the real terrorists from the quirkier followers of a religion that is increasingly the target of Islamophobes. For Muslims like me who have worked tirelessly to bring moderate voices forward as our religion is seized by extremists from within and put under siege by Islam's detractors from without, the Yusuf Islam episode is mostly counterproductive because it not only increases the rage in rational segments of Muslim society, it violates the fundamental principles by which America holds itself out as a beacon of freedom and liberty to the rest of the world. We have to be better if we are to hold others accountable for their misdeeds.
Either Attorney General John Ashcroft and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge should make the evidence against Mr. Islam public and detail it sufficiently that all can see his sins in an objective light, or they should issue an official apology to the peace activist and explain how American laws got hijacked in such a cavalier manner. The Patriot Act's provisions, it seems, have run amok.

Mansoor did say that he predicted there would not be a terrorist attack in America before the election. So far, so good.
My ex-mother-in-law's favorite saying.
Aaah, I ain't seen him, man. Now, where'd ah put my peanut butter and bananna sandwich? C'mon now, don't be cruel!
Insightful
Thank heaven somebody knew it.
I feared that I was FR's token hillbilly...LOL!

I saw Mansoor drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

Remember, you read it here first.

Not around the York, PA, area. I DON'T CARE, either.
"And much of what he says he doesn't know."
He was the first one I heard speak about A.Q. Khan's selling nuclear secrets to Libya and others.
He called him "the most dangerous man in the world", and this was months ahead of any official word about Pakistans nuclear proliferation efforts.
I think the guy really is quite well connected.
