Yet at the same time, the head of another theocratic state - one whose agents in this country had committed devastating crimes against hundreds of thousands of young Americans - came to the U.S. and received a warm welcome from President Bush, the national press and most of the American people. He even got to say Mass before a sold-out crowd at Yankee Stadium...

"We are aware that the actual cargo was destined for Sudan, not Kenya," Christensen told the Associated Press. Christenen's press releases have since dried up, and Mwangura has been arrested by Kenyan police...
