#2 My first thought was that perhaps Mr. Berry found religion in the Brixton mosque. But the tu3031 is just as persuasive. We'll see.

#3 I had to respond to these comments, I'm back in the U.K having been released on the 28th August 2004. Even though they kept me for nearly six months no charges wrere forth comming. I was tortured etc to reveal who I was working for and what I was doing there. The 'Jersey' guys were freinds and allies. I was alone with the Afghans and it wasn't for any shady deals. They were the bad guys with strong links to terrorist activities. They were stopped.

#4 And you can "say no more"?

To say that this is still puzzling is a massive understatement!

The one thing I am certain of, however, is that it is good to hear you are out of AfghaniWakiLand, home, and recovering - in all the applicable ways! If you happen to feel the urge, I have no doubt we would all like to hear much more. If that isn't possible or advisable, well, I offer my best wishes for your recovery! Welcome home!

#5 O.K, just a bit more, since a fair bit of what happened is reaching the press etc. I was aiding both British and American INTEL to collect SAM's (blowpipe, stinger, SA 7) as well as sending teams into Pakistan to hunt for Gulbaddin and Osama. My brief also inclueded running informants to report on the activities of opium smuggling by highly placed Afghan officials and their followers. Basically I was exposed by a unsavoury double agent who is currently hiding in Dubai.(not for long) There was a knock at my door one night and in walked two Afghan guys who I'd recently recovered some urainium from. It was being tested by the New Jersey boys. Anyway they weren't there to talk, after a short time one went for a chinease TT,(not a take away) I grabbed his arm we struggled and as he shot me in the stomach I punched him under his nose, I fell back and in doing so drew my own pistol (Makarov)his partner was coming at me so I shot him three times in the chest, he dropped like a sack. The one with the gun was just getting an aim on me again when I aimed at him and gave him three into the same spot. All went quite. The one nearest me twitched so he got another to the face and for good measure I fired into his pal's forehead. Game over Brits two, Afghans nil. I called for assistance and ten minutes later the door came of its hinges in came a whole bunch of 'North Face' models in base ball caps. It wasn't long before we left. The rest I'll leave for now depending upon interest. p.s thanks for good comments.
