I think I mentioned before that I was scheduled to go do some “good” somewhere on the other side of a couple of ponds and had delayed my trip until the last minute in the hope of avoiding commercial flights – but no such luck.
Anyway, on 11 February at the ungodly hour of 2 am I was scheduled to fly to New York (a stop over !). The flight was delayed and I stroke up a conversation with some people - first at the lounge and then on the cabin.
That date was the day Mubarak was “overthrown” (Friday 11 Feb) and I had heard a lot of discussion on this part of the world about how the CIA is involved in all things middle east and in supporting dictators etc. etc. etc. and it was curios how social media (Facebook and forums) had played a role (the social media started our conversations ) . I thought it was a “small world” as the passengers in my flight/lounge conversation included.
1. George Tenet (former CIA director)
2. Concord (former DF member)
3. George D (Dubai World General Counsel on his way to Miami to fight Herve).
I thought it was interesting that these people were leaving Dubai at the same time (small world) - some “connection” to DF and topics.
p.s. I heard no “secrets”. It would have been even stranger if Concord’s name is also George (although he gave a name which can also be an initial).
