Bringing American students home
7/11/2008 2:12 PM
By: Todd Boatwright

McCaul with Rep. Gene Green, D-Houston, Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and troops in Afghanistan.  
Friday, July 11 marks a special homecoming from Pakistan for two American boys.

The boys were enrolled in schools that teach Islamic extremism.

Congressman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, helped bring the students home and saved them from what he calls, "going down a dangerous road."

There are schools in the Middle East that teach radical Islam and two boys attending the school were released.

It's a growing concern that has many Americans worried for homeland security.

McCaul was able to get the students out of the school by working directly with head of state officials, and he is pushing to get the countless other American students removed from the school.
