#3 Fred: Knight-Ridder's account is that the Egyptian guy might be Saif al Adel.

#4 Isnât it odd that these Pakistanis, become surprised about every matter. But they sure are clever and leave no chance for bashing America. How remarkable they have a FBIâs most wanted terrorists living with them under the same roof. Along with are their own kith and kin involved in same shady business and NOW one gets to read that the entire family is now aghasted , its taken them all out of surprise.

Similarly, there was a documentary on the BBC World Service about an unusual number of Pakistanis fleeing a post-9/11 crackdown on illegal immigrants. There were sobbing wives and daughter in veils (men do not face cameras to avoid appearing on record) lamenting the American high handedness. This chaotic exodus has jammed land crossings into areas like Toronto and MontrÃ©al. But its probably common sense that these characters had come to the US as tourist and visitors or through fake documents and slipped into American society , living illegally here . So if there is crack down now, should it be matter of surprise to them???

As per habit they donât leave chance to America bashing and start all over again , forgetting the fact they were earning their livelihoods raising their families in the US in a more respectable manner than they could have done in their own country. They have the cheek to indulge in socking American policies. If US is all bad what were they doing here in the first place. It can be said for a majority of Pakistanis that there sympathies lie with Osamas, Saddams, and Saudis of their world.

#5 I thought denial was just a river in Egypt. I think I'll have another helping of broccoli.
