2. I take it from her last name that she's either Arabic or married
to an Arab man - which floors me. I thought the Pentagon got rid of anyone who might have a freakin' clue about Arabic culture.

3. She is apparently very bright and knowledable about the area...
I don't know of her backround, but she appears to have born here, pseaks perfect English & Arabic so I'd figure she came from an Arabic houshold.

From what I've seen/heard so far, she seems unbiased and pretty damn honest...:)
