You have a good point and I agree. God knows I wouldn't trade places with the intel-weenies if given a chance.

However, I still find the good "doctor" full of wombat droppings. the Russians are very good at cutting people off from communication with their friends. And, if they found an Arab, with no papers, with a Chechyen trying to enter... He wasn't seeing the light of day for a good while.

I suspect that his "report" was to boost his image among his friends.

Yeah, it's another instance of terrorists defeating sophisticated strategies with simple ones. If I tried to send you a triple-DES encoded email message about a bomb threat on an airplane the NSA would have it decoded in 10 seconds and your and my faces on a monitor in 30 seconds.

Or to confuse the West/cover his tracks re: his new benefactor, the Russians. Of course, thats assuming he wasnt in their camp all along.
