They can only surprise you. Once. That was. Game over. For them. We're wide awake now, my great friend. Side by side with you, I hope to see the best of human nature triumph for everyone around the world - including those who know no better. Meanwhile, I hope you can see from what you've been hearing here that Americans are your true friends, and shall not forsake you, whatever the cost.

Four Pakistanis Missing After INS Wrongly Let Them Enter Country WASHINGTON — Federal officials are on the lookout for four Pakistani nationals who are in the United States illegally after leaving a freighter that had been docked in Virginia sometime last weekend. Immigration and Naturalization Service district directors and border patrol chiefs from across the country met on a "crisis management" conference call Thursday afternoon in which it was revealed that one of the four missing Pakistanis showed up on a "look out list" described by call participants as a "terrorist list." Some members on Capitol Hill who have heard about the case are "furious," according to sources, and the embarrassment is said to have further angered President Bush, who was put in another awkward situation last week when the INS mailed visa approvals for two Sept. 11 hijackers to the flight school they attended last year. Sketches released Friday show the four Pakistani suspects. The Coast Guard is distributing fliers in the Norfolk, Va., area of the missing crew members: Ahmad Salman, Thulan Qadar, Mohammad Nazir and Adnan Ahmad. They were onboard the Progresso, a Malta-chartered freighter that was carrying a chemical commonly used in fertilizer, when it made port a week ago Friday near Norfolk from Novorossisk, Russia. The ship has a 27-member crew; 19 are Pakistani. The captain is Croatian. Last Friday, an INS inspector granted the four Pakistanis "shore leave visa waivers," which allowed them to come ashore even though they had not been granted visas for entry into the United States. However, the INS inspector violated INS rules, which prohibit Pakistanis from receiving waivers. After Sept. 11, the INS issued a directive specifically denying Pakistani crew members shore leave or "admission as crewman," which is offered to nationals from 29 mostly Western European countries with which the United States has specific reciprocal arrangements. foxnews.com
