So Israelis like the sun and they got racially profiled, is it? Thanks for the laugh, but have you actually read any of the reports? Dasquie says he's got all the names, ranks, and serial numbers of intelligence operatives. He's lying, right? How bout this from the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/03/07/wspy07.xml&s Sheet=/news/2002/03/07/ixworld.html (...) The DEA report said most of the students questioned by American investigators acknowledged having served in units of the Israeli armed forces specialising in military intelligence, electronic signals interception or explosive ordnance.

You guys are burying your heads not to see the 200 arrests, whereas in fact these are only a decoy, a saturation attack to cover the real operation.
