There has been a fair sized Arab presence in Okalahoma for years. It all started from some of the Okalahoma universities that have good curriculums in all aspects of the oil biz. From geology and drilling to refinery science. Arabs came to learn this. These courses were there for Okalahomans to learn how to exploit their native state's oil/gas reserves.

It is interesting that the factoid that Atta received payment from Mohmed Ahmed, a Pakistani intelligence officer, member of the ISI (a CIA spinoff) has completely disappeared from the internet and the media at large. This Ahmed was in Washington at the time of the 9/11 massacre meeting with such notables as Richard Armitage. He was later sacked on a trumped up charge because the reality is too embarassing.

The above factoid was released by the India newspapers who are not at all friendly to Pakistan.

Faxed letter to Schumer:

Senator Schumer:
You are quoted in the AP:

``This gets stranger and stranger,'' said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., one of the senators investigating the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. ``Why we were able to keep Atta's roommate out but not Atta and the rest of the terrorists is beyond me.''

A State Department official said Wednesday there is still no mechanism, even in the aftermath of Sept. 11, to flag a foreigner who is turned down repeatedly for visas for suspicions like those that surrounded Bin al-Shibh.

``It would be very difficult to draw a distinction between the typical profile of someone desperate to come to the United States for financial and social betterment reasons and is turned down several times for a visa and the terrorist or someone else with ill intent,'' said Edward Dickens, a spokesman for the consular affairs office that approves visas.

Why is Congress so STUPID and out of the "loop" that you can't see the simple solution. CLOSE THE BORDERS, ISSUE NO VISAS until the terrorists hiding in America are found, tried or deported? Do 3000 or MORE citizens have to die before Congress acts?

DO YOUR JOB - PROTECT AMERICA.

This Is Only a Test... To ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, Medal of Honor winning former Governors and Compaq employees wearing black leather jackets.

Someone should take a few hours to explain to Chuckie that the culture he helped to create, one in which the only group that can be profiled or vilified without recrimination is WASP, also helped to make it very difficult for INS or FBI or CIA to keep out the scum.
