Istanbul, 28 Feb. (AKI) - Retired Iranian general and former deputy defence minister, Alireza Asghari, has gone missing during a private visit to Turkey, Arab and Iranian newsreports said on Wednesday. Asghari arrived in the Turkish city on a flight from Damascus and after checking into the Hotel Ghilan has not been seen since, the reports said.
Baztab, an internet site linked to the Pasdaran, reported that Ashgari may have been kidnapped. Baztab recently reported that Asghari's name was one of 20 belonging to Pasdaran officers which appeared on what the site said was a CIA hit-list.

| #12 The little gray guys beamed him aboard! "Uh, General, you do realize that our little gray friends here, in exchange for their technological advantages, have requested certain, ah, sexual advantages of their own, right? Well, sir, you're it for tonight - and for the next several nights...oh, and don;t worry about those sharp implements over there - they rarely use them on anything but cows...Oops! I guess it's you're lucky night! I'll be leaving now..." |

| #9 Steve: "One minute he was here, the next...gone!" Hmmm, without a trace you say? Looks like a job for Jack Malone and his team. |

| #7 maybe his private aircraft had a math problem: 1 takeoff does not = 1 landing ( at least not in 1 piece) |

| #4 Finally Iran has been added to the gloves off list that AQ has been living on sinse 9-11. Bush for all of his faults at talking/rallying the people gets the job done and will do what has to be done. In 20-40yrs when the classification falls off we will learn this WOT is much like a iceburg with the majority under water so to speak. A couple simple examples of changes :Bush changing authorization to allow in field leaders to make calls on missions rather than calling back to washington on time criticals :Bush giving SOF free reign to any point were AQ targets are operating and on and on. |

| #2 Don't worry. We'll find out soon enough about this covert mission from the frontpage of the NY Times. Probably lots of background on the kidnap team. |
