If he makes it back alive, we could take up a collection for his cause. If something should happen to him, like his head get sawed off by his comrades, well, I guess he just learned a valuable life lesson a bit too late.

Hmmm . . . something like "The Apprentice" for Al-Jazeera? We have at least two candidates for contestants - John Walker Lindh and Mark Robert Walker.

What is it about "Walkers" and wackos anyway? Seems to be a trend here . . .

I think radical Islam may be replacing communism as the 'in' thing for college students.

Wait until they are over there and then let it slip to the wrong people that they are actually covert agents trying to track down terrorists elements for us.

They can do this because GPS enabling devices were implanted inside their bodies during surgery before the link-up with the bad guys.

Tell them that the GPS devices are disguised as gerbils - that will explain what the bad guys will find when they open them up.
