Today, Bahri is a business consultant in Yemen who favors Western-style pinstriped shirts, crisp slacks and black loafers. But his ideas are still radical: Ask him whether jihadists should kill Americans on U.S. soil and he replies without hesitation, "America is a legitimate target."

It says here http://pulitzercenter.typepad.com/untold_stories/2009/02/abu-jandal-in-the-name-of-jihad.html
that he is actually running the program that supposedly rehabs the returning terrorists from Gitmo!

What a frigging joke Obama is playing on the world.

As the United States steps up its engagement here, it faces the delicate task of fighting terrorism without alienating Yemen's highly tribal and religiously conservative society// 2 things wrong with that statement,1 who cares if we upset them. And 2 since when is Yemen conservative?

The attempted bombing of Delta/Northwest 253 on Christmas Day was not the first from the Islamic terrorists nor will it be the last. Since I am a pilot, I have had people ask what can a passenger do onboard an airplane to help thwart a terrorist attack. Having personal experience with a few events myself, as well as reading articles and hearing stories from other crewmembers, I can give you some information which might assist you in dealing with a suspicious passenger or situation.
