| #13 They were good men then, 49 Pan. I'm sure those kids make all of you proud in ways small and large. |

| #11 TW, I think I know who this 746 is, shoots cig adds. He does take some great photos. My favorites are the first one and the last one. The first is a Malaysian girl, the bigger round faced girl, she had been gang raped by the Malaysian military at seven. We hide here in Zambo. The last photo was a retarded child. The starkness of the photo really captured the orphanage and how it looked when we first got there, hopeless. The place was a sanctuary for some kids that love through some real horror. I have seen the hardest of men break into tears at that place. |

| #10 see link for work done in Zambo with orphanage Gorgeous, 746. There are some seriously photogenic children there, and someone definitely knows how to wield a camera. I knew about the orphanage, but had not seen those. Thank you for so generously sharing. What Marlboro Shooter, 49 Pan dear? |

| #8 see link for work done in Zambo with orphanage : I believe 49pan was instrumental in the creation of this much needed facility as was Mrs 49Pan. http://travel.webshots.com/album/316299888MpsdGe |

| #5 Sorta missed the Narco War in Mexico. Which also points out the big blind spot in MSM when it comes to countries in this hemisphere and south of the border. You have to watch Univision to find out anything going on down there. Which also contributed to the absolute ignorance on what happened in Honduras - it wasn't a military coup, but simply their Constitutional process to address the real coup being staged by Zelaya. |

| #4 49 Pan is a wonderful resource for that part of the world, 746, as he spent time there dealing with exactly that bunch. Lots of that kind of thing here at Rantburg. :-) |

| #2 A part of the 911 planning also took place in Manila. There were AQ funded training camps on Mindanao as well as funds, training and support from AQ went to the ASG on both Jolo and Basilan. |
