Mike,

When I spoke with Paul, he said he was a very nice guy, helped others, and 
he felt everyone treated him well. I think the article was just a typical 
"sensationalism" our American press is so very good at.

While he may have been out to prove his QH's could do what Arabs can, 
personally, I have no objection to that..alot of folks chose non-Arabs for 
alot of reasons..and that is certainly one of them.
