Hi LindyBill; Re: "The Moroccans take very seriously their 225-year-old relationship with the United States," said a Western diplomat." Ah, the Barbary pirates. -- Carl

Western officials here described Moroccan cooperation as "extraordinary." "The Moroccans take very seriously their 225-year-old relationship with the United States," said a Western diplomat. "There is damn good cooperation. . . . They're serious." The diplomat said Moroccan authorities were putting extensive resources into the search, even though the already poor country is suffering badly from lost tourist and investment dollars due to a generalized terrorist threat. "The Moroccans have asked for nothing," said the diplomat. "Nothing. They made a decision to cooperate and they stuck to it." I've thought about this several times since reading your post concerning the arrests in Morocco. We sure need more friends like this (and Turkey). Incidentally, one more arrest made in this case today. cnn.com
