Ahmed Hikmat Shakir

Don't forget this name. He's got to be the most wanted criminal on the planet.

No offense, walter, but that has got to be the lamest excuse I've heard yet. You didn't bother to refute anything that is said.
Did you stick your fingers in your ears and hum after you typed that?
Go read the book. Trust me. Stephen Hayes has documented his information pretty well.

The whole first chapter is about Ahmed Hikmat Shamir and what the CIA knows about him. Educate yourself, my friend.

Well, I *did* say to remember his name. I guess he turns out to be the Weakest Link. So much for that clue.
