Pakistanis Missing From Ship WTKR.com Posted on 3/22/02 8:32 AM Pacific by dsb NewsChannel 3 has learned that four Pakistanis are missing from a ship that was in Hampton Roads last week. The ship "Progresso," which is a Russian ship sailing under a Maltese flag, made a port of call in Chesapeake last Friday. When it left port on Sunday, four of its crew members were missing. The INS emphasizes there's no reason to believe the four Pakistani nationals have an criminal intent. In fact, they checked out fine when the ship came into port. But in a post 9/11 world, local authorities have been given their photos and descriptions. The photos are not being made available to the public. We want to emphasize that these men are not wanted for anything at this point beyond immigration issues.

Close the borders to all men arriving from these countries. Yes racial Profiling will work.

So, they've had about a week to infiltrate and disappear...they could literally be anywhere in the country...and wonder if they brought anything in with them--like weapons, WMD...

We are in trouble if the INS doesn't get its act together...and GWB doesn't forget about the Amnesty Bill.
