Le Wrath Di Khan. This is too much of a geekgasm not to share. Mike Fasolo, Writer: "I only wish we could have gotten the Kirk puppet to make that ridiculous face Shatner makes in the movie when he yells Khaaaaaaan!!

And, why exactly was this deep mole agent blown by the US Administration in August of 2004, concurrent with raising the DHS Threat Level to Orange for NYC and Washington DC financial services? While the Plame blame game and investigation carries on, we now have another old news story about a rara avis Al Qaeda double-agent undercover operative outing that is suddenly rising from the ashes of dusty newsprint almost like a phoenix seeking it's own special prosecutor. -- Following the thread of the story is a bit of a tangle, so an attempt to unsnarl the imbroglio is provided inside....
