I remain dubious. They change their names to Hispanic ones, and "blend" in by pretending to be MEXICANS???? Seems to me their cover would be blown in minutes.

Don't know what your talking about.

I have a good friend from Iran, and he is mistaken for a Mexican *all* the time. As a matter of fact, he conducts civil and criminal investigations and he is used in predominantly Mexican areas since he blends in so well.

We went to CA two weeks after 9/11. I would see dark skinned, brown haired people and would be able to id many of them as hispanic but then there were others that I really couldn't figure out if they were hispanic or middle eastern. I'm probably not the only American that can't id differnet groups of people.
