No doubt about it. I'm sure everyone of these dudes has the number of their Embasssy here in the USA. They're stupid if they didn't make a call.

One of the Alqueda rules is that "after a plan is "in operation", there is to be no communication. THAT'S what bothers me.

My two ways gave me trouble yesterday. I was going to go to Walmart to buy a couple more. Do I dare??

Will they frisk me? I'm getting pretty old and would have no problems with that!! :-)

That raises an interesting question. Why did the uncle of the student found in Minnesota, Eslam Ibrahim Mohammed El-Dessouki, call the FBI instead of their embassy? Signal?

Hamvi Kassab, (AKA HANDY A KASSAB, HAMDY A KASSAB), a Minneapolis grocer, told KSTP-TV that he is El-Dessouki's uncle and that agents arrested the man at Kassab's St. Louis Park home. Kassab said he called the FBI after learning about the search.

I found the alternative spellings of the uncles name, trying to find more info.
