1) It's clear from the British reaction that, in fact, there was a need to move VERY quickly on this stuff.
2) Trust me, I don't know what it is, but there is a REASON they slipped this guy's name out there. One possible reason is that they want the terrorists to know specifically that they had been compormised and to MOVE.
Movement is the easiest way to catch a "sleeper" or someone in a cell. You can track car rentals, plane tickets, motels, etc. It's certainly not 100% effective, but like a sniper waiting for a target, if he moves he is much more vulnerable than when he is still.
3) It is highly likely that this guy's name was already "out there" via Pakistan and there is a blame game going on.
All I know is that while the FBI has a habit of doing crap like this, I don't think Ridge's boys do.
Guess the news reports missed this critical sentence.
I do, too. Sounds a lot like the MO behind Plame-gate.
My guess is that a leftist within the intell community has leaked this to make it look as if Bush's men are stupid. Remember what matters to the left is not if we are safe, but are they in power. The left will gladly surrender lives and help OBL if it means getting what they want. To them the ends justify the means. Our lives mean nothing to them. Just ask 50,000,000 dead in the former Soviet Union!
You are correct. Just add the Compost as another traitor group. They were the a big factor in the exposing of CIA agents abroad and here during the Carter administration.
WHY do we have to blab about this stuff publically and NAME NAMES?
Exactly what I thought! While most folks here I'm a nosey person, and what to know what's going on, BUT we don't really need to know this...until the operation is finished.
The latter was my guess, the Pakistani was actually working as a double agent.
Either way works.
He was trying to expand his ego by bragging or he was a double agent. Or a combo of both.
That was a sharp observation by you last night.
You're saying that as though it would be a bad thing?
It's now to late in Irag, but there are still Syria and Iran.
As a kindly old grampa, I don't to kill innocents.
However, killing every Islamofascist/kazi AND their liberal supporters in America and round the world would be great. After this latest fiasco, our few Moabs would be used to take out the headquarters of Ny/La Slimes, Washington Compost, Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Urinal, Newsweak, Slime and of course ABCNNBC BS.
Immediately America, our troops in country and those of us at home and abroad would be safer.
Maybe he was just emulating, Jethro Bodine, "double-naught spy".
That was a short nap you all took.
OK , wonder what more we will see and hear on this Friday news drop , today and tomorrow.
You can be really funny, (at times)!:)
As another kindly old grampa, could I suggest your plan be amended slightly?
Each of those RATs nests likely have child day care centers.
Those kids, while surely the spawn of RAT evil, are themselves innocent.
Could we remove them first?
Sterilize them if you must, to prevent passing on those RAT genes,
but the little eunuchs themselves might be salvageable.
That was a short nap you all took.
Fortunately, I have maintained my old sleeping routine before I turned 65. Most of the week, I only need about 6 hours of bedtime.
I know people, who are my age, who collapse on the couch shortly after dinner, wake up and go to bed at 9 and sleep until 6-8 the next morning. Then, they have a nap or two during the day. If I have a long and good day fishing, I might go to bed at 9ish. Then, I'm up at at 3:30 to 4:30.
I don't know how to answer that question. :)
Me neither, I wonder if we had that Navy guy first .... who lead us to the guys in Britain....who then lead us to the Pakistan operation and ....is Khan who Pakistan is saying he really is?
Maybe we really rolled this operation up from our end ....
Relates to the naval plans found from 2001.
Remember, earlier this week, I told you what we would have to do to you if you keep asking questions.
I hope that we never find out what happened after we found this IslamoPOS doing what he did until the last IslamoPOS has been killed. Then, conservative reporters can report in some detail what happened.
I was always making trouble in the planning meetings.....
I need some coffee and food.
