John, the Salmen Pak story has been all over the media for months, including PBS and The New Yorker.

I was aware of that, c2.

My questions are, however.

1. Did the story appear in the public media only after 9-11? I genuinely don't know the answer. If it did, in reasonably credible places, it has a bit more believability tacked onto it. If not, then it has much less so.

2. On its appearance in The New Yorker story. If you are thinking of last March's story on the Kurds in northern Iraq, I don't recall it in that story at all and I tried to read it carefully. If you can find the text and point it out to me, I would be grateful. However, that is, of course, after 9-11.

3. As for PBS, I gather from the context of your remarks, it was on PBS after 9-11. Is that so?
