3. It wouldn't be the first time a kid outdid US intelligence services

I seem to remember a young man from California who managed to get closer to Al Queda's leadership than scores of CIA assets ever did....

5. On the contrary, CIA is quite close to Al Queda's 'leadership'.

4. Right? A kid with Iraqi-born parents shows up at the Kuwait/Iraq border

manages to fly into Baghdad and just hang out for a few days before calling the AP to say hi, and the US has NO FUCKING CLUE that he was there. Way to go, Secret Police State! Nice job, Shadow Government! Heckuva Job, Rummy!

6. I'll remember this next time I'm being strip searched in LAX or

caught in some random security check. The war on terror; what a fucking joke.
