Blind item! Who among the readership got evacuated from her Battery Park City apartment when the WTC went down, then took a trip to Northern Pakistan a few weeks later, then got turned in to the FBI by a cleaning lady who was scrubbing trade center dust out of her apartment and saw a Koran and other suspicious items, and has now been invited by her friend the king to accompany him and his sheik friends on a falcon hunt for Hourbara bustards in Southern Afghanistan? Some highlights from a previous hunt: "In early 1999, they followed bin Laden to a southern hunting camp where he was falcon hunting with a group of visiting Arab princes. The agents put up GPS devices, the Agency put up satellites and took pictures of the camp. Inside the National Security Cabinet, the question was, 'Do we have enough information to shoot? And even if we do, can we risk killing unknown possible members of one of the United Arab Emirates' royal families?' In the end Clinton chose not to shoot."
