Let me add a few things.
Amtrack uses a Tranfalgo (sp?) spanish train to go at high speed up from Portland to Vancouver BC.
The guy converted to Islam because his wife is Egyptian. (wasn't there a petty criminal Al Quada member who converted to Islam while in prison and was lined up with an Egyptian wife?)
This sounds pretty far fetched. By that I mean that even if he is an immigration attorney with Islamic ties, how would he get his finger prints on an explosives bag in Spain? The whole PR release just doesn't sound quite right. I think we should put ourselves in skeptic mode rather than leaping to conclusions (at least for a few days).
