I just caught Yee speaking on BBC. I think they said it was not long ago, maybe six months. His appearance totally threw me off. I expected a serious mood but he seemed nervous and rather flip.

One line in one of his 2001 interviews REALLY bothered me. "When I go into the field, I have a copy of the Koran and next to it a copy of the Constitution". (It made no sense to me and evoked a big HUH).

But going back to the time of Mohammud, the phrase was "The Koran in one hand and the sword in the other" (from one of my circa 1850 books).

Add this to the timeline just above - gotta wonder if this, as well as who we're fighting in Iraq, had anything to do with the recent flurry of warnings to Syria. Also, Syria is the turf of Zarqawi's group and the Milan Cell - they were punping European recruits through Syria into Iraq :
