This is really an attempt, and not an unsuccessful attempt, to terrify people.

This is not a case about religion or Islam or a cultural clash. It's about people who have been sued for having asked legitimate questions.

And indeed that you never had the impression there was never anything unusual or secretive about this? Correct.

And in fact you told us you didn't have the impression at all that Mr. Weaver wanted to keep Huang's receipt of these sporadic faxes a secret in any way. Is that true?

I've had friends jumped before, but it wasn't with weapons and nothing on this scale.

I take it Mr. Weaver was a registered lobbyist at this time. Was that correct?
