* How do you say it?

People are asking me why I have Middle Eastern and other foreign news sources on my link list. I will now tell you my secret... YEARS before 9/11, and when the Internet was fairly new, I was lurking around on foreign news web pages and message boards. In those days one could submit a page written in a language not your own, to a web site... like "BabbleFish, and it would be translated. In those days, I was naive...I took for granted that U.S. "intelligence" were doing the same thing. If they had, 9/11 would NOT have been a SURPRISE..
