Host, I was just responding to your latest post in the thread and didn't want to rehash the other stuff. Perhaps my response was a bit of a threadjack, and I apologize if it was. Obvsiously, Mr. al-Faruq can't be used as a mole of any sort now, but his escape seems just sort of miraculous giving the security of the facility. My point was that Mr. al-Faruq might have been released as either a "blind fish" or a cooperating informant. There's historical evidence that both tactics have been used successfully in the past by various agencies.

As far as the rest of the "scare-tactic propaganda", I don't have anythoughts on that issue that are well-formed enough to share. I need more data from other sources.
