Sorry to bother you, but... LOL - Alamo-Girl, I thought of you today! I saw a copy of the NEW STATESMAN magazine, and the cover story was on BIOTERROR - which is written from a "don't panic" stance.
Anyway.... not on the cover, but open up to the cover story, and just guess what the name of the author is?
KENAN MALIK - I found an online version of his article at his website, kenanmalik.com
I wonder if Malik/Malak are common names like Smith/Olson.
My, how curious! I don't know if the names are common - but certainly there are a lot of common names we see in different mixes when we view reports about people from the Middle East - Mohammed, Abdullah, etc.
