#2 According to Fox, the Defense Department lawyer who vetted al-Awlaki wrote that she 'had the privilege of hearing one of Mr. Awlaki's presentations in November and was impressed by both the extent of his knowledge and by how he communicated that information and handled a hostile element in the audience'.

This unnamed DOD Lawyer has a name? Perhaps she needs a vetting with a microscope?

#3 Saw the special--something they didn't mention was Adnan Al-Shukrijumah's father had also wporked at the Saudi consulate in Guyana before moving to Florida, so he was fluent in Arabic, Spanish, and English, besides the cultural knowledge of growing up in the US. So when I saw the headline (AP), I thought it wouldn't be a stretch to add the Chicago black Muslims to the list with advance knowledge/connection of 9-11:

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) Akbar Muhammad, a U.S. Muslim cleric visiting this South American country, was detained Thursday on suspicion of ties to drugs and terrorism, Guyana police said.
Local media identified the man as Akbar Muhammad, who is a longtime top aide to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Guyana is also a middleman for the drug, diamond, and illegal gold mining between So. America(Venezuela) and Africa.

#4 I thought it odd that, in response to a story about the Guyana arrest posted here the other day, a Nation of Islam supporter posted two comments about what a good man Mr. Muhammed is. We'd never had an NOI poster here before.

#5 It's been known for a long time that he was the spiritual advisor of two of the 9/11 hijackers. Just check out his Wikipedia page. Now, (wonder of wonders) that role is expanding.
