Re: Canada 1, USA 0 court upholds extradition . . .

The U.S. paid Pakistani intelligence agents $500,000 in October 2004 to kidnap Khadr. He was initially prevented from speaking to consular officials and beaten until he co-operated with Pakistani intelligence.

So, I'm guessing he gave up the location of the Paki safe house........

Re: Nazi warplane lying off Kent coast is intact

"Two of the crew members died on impact, while two others, including the pilot, were taken prisoner and survived the war."
If this was a RAF aircraft and contained human remains it would probably be considered a war grave. ??

The pods are FRL A/A refuelling pods. Rats are attached to a fuel pump to pull the hoses in, regulate hose extension speeds and to assist fuel output pressure to the receivers.

Re: Stalker or just a creepy old guy?

You need to report this guy to the cops asap. If he calls again, *57 after the call to red flag your records @ the telephone company. Police can then warrant the records for evidence.
