ARABS MISSING FROM GAME

#1 09-07-2002, 02:52 PM

Since Ashcroft isn't releasing the names of Arabs being held in conjunction with 911 investigation, I am wondering if he has snatched some players, from the (public) 20/40 HE game,in which I play. No joke. About five of them have vanished, after appearing regularly for the past three years or so. Any missing from your game.

It could be, considering the well known fact that fundementalists like to play poker in their spare time.

Actually, this situation bothers me a bit. Those guys just disappeared, after showing-up three or more days a week, for years. Folks disappearing, is something I used to associate with Argentina and such.

Aren't you making a rather unfounded assumption? One might just as well suggest that they went off to join the jihad somewhere. Actually, considering that there are many more jihad-warriors on the loose than in captivity, that would seem at least as likely a possibility as that which you seem to fear.

remember i posted the link where an administration official put the number of al queda worldwide at something like 400?

and the number of disappeared people is officially at something like 2 or 3 thousand. (thats their figure, so...)

Maybe this CBS news link will help shed some light on the numbers.
