I am a CSE major at UTA. I don't know Dr. Reyes personally. (His office is right next to my former advisor - Ray Springston.) Dr. Reyes is a reserved, quiet man. But that's all I know.
I do know that it's a year after 911 and there are still no procedures in place for getting these nutbars out of America and it drives me friggin nuts. Any one of these guys I go to school with could be the next Mohammed Atta.
"I was looking at America as my enemy," he said. "If someone would have approached me and asked me to do something against the country, I was willing to do it."
Mr. Aletwei said he had since had a change of heart and was confessing to help U.S. authorities better guard against people like him. He said he had not been approached by terrorists seeking to enlist him and had no target.
But when U.S. Immigration Judge D. Anthony Rogers referred to an FBI report quoting Mr. Aletwei as saying he still harbored thoughts of killing Americans, Mr. Aletwei conceded that the prospects of a U.S. invasion of Iraq had him again contemplating an attack.
Dr. Reyes, who taught Mr. Aletwei for a year, said his student rarely spoke of politics and struck all who knew him as well-balanced and as a genuinely good person. Dr. Reyes said he wrote a letter to the U.S. Embassy in Jordan at Mr. Aletwei's request to get his visa reinstated. "There's nothing in his character that would indicate any truth to that at all," Dr. Reyes said. "That doesn't sound like the Tahir that we know."
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! This Dr. Reyes needs an EXIT visa immediately! Unfortunately, I'm unavailable for the next week, but this school, and especially this "Dr. Reyes" need a good freepin!

FREEP TIME!
Because of this kind of deception, I look at every ME looking person with suspicion. It's biased and not right, but neither is acting all nice and friendly until you detonate.
Money-grubbing university FReep bump.
