How many times do you hop on a bus to Macedonia because of a spat with your wife while unemployed to let off steam?
This whole thing reeks of major CIA/State Department leak campaign and combined with the Plame Blame Game and authorized CIA smear books published during an election year is quite nauseating. One would think the DNC hired the CIA as of a midterm election year dirty tricks operator or something. Here is a Guradian link.

It's interesting that the CIA cannot differentiate between a real passport or fake one. That's what my $40 billion dollars purchases. Thank God for the Hellfire Hit this week otherwise I would be so ticked!
Also Dana Priest knows all these poor innocent CIA victims. Wonder if this great reporter can locate Osama for us instead? It might save a few lives?
Doubtless most would describe this situation as "suspicious as heck." Similar name to high profile terrorist, found on an odd errand, and apparently nobody knew what the high profile terrorist actually looked like.
Given that however, I too am majorly peeved that the apparent difference between this man's freedom and captivity hinged on nothing more than the authenticity of a German passport. Someone is grossly incompetent and/or still lying.
