About Mansour Ijaz ....

Isn't he the one who supposedly arranged the offer of Osama on a silver platter that was politely declined by x42? (GRRRRRRRRRR!!!) I think that story has been verified through other sources .... including comments by x42 himself that back it up.

..... Because of that, I think we all give Ijaz a high level of credibility. And if he could arrange that deal, his "sources" must be pretty impressive.

However, I think it would be a good idea to start really paying attention to what he says and whether it comes to pass so we'll know whether to hang on his every word.

Yes, that is true. I heard him say that he had supported X-42 and that is why he was able to get access with the offer.

On some things he is spot on. On others, I have no way of knowing, since he is getting information from shadowy sources in the Arab world.

I guess that old Ronald Reagan maxim holds...trust but verify.
