a fearless story!

This story struck me for its courage to expose the authorities. And the quote in near middle of the article: "Indirectly, they told me to get lost," is a great one I feel. In merely seven words in a snappy phrase, it covers the gist of a woman reporting to American authorities that her husband may be a terrorist and the authorities not paying heed to it.

Details about Mr. Headley like: "But at night he loved watching “Seinfeld” and Jay Leno;" and giving the sense of place as we were talking about in last class in: "Sipping tea in a cafe overlooking a plaza in Morocco, Ms. Outalha said that in hindsight, she is convinced that he is both men." add a lot of life to the otherwise morose story.
