#6 Heh. Great minds, and all that, Frank.

Hey, what's that Arabic word that means "lying like a rug whenever infidels are involved"?

#7 Hey, what's that Arabic word that means "lying like a rug whenever infidels are involved"?

See here. There's taqqiyah, which is saying that which is untrue, and kitman, which is lying by omitting the critical part of the truth. Does anyne remember the other kind of permitted lying? Something like tarawi or tawari...

#8 You had finished your "interview" with the FBI. Then Brenda Lee Johnson said she had no further questions for you.

But your communique with the "peaceful" islamists was impressive. 2LT down.

You should have pleded in the US in that matter. Puss
