My understanding is that it's the other guy (the one not captured) who took over for Muhammad.

Your understanding is incorrect.

"Your understanding is incorrect"

That's a very instructive comment. When then was the guy captured not the guy with the huge bounty on his head. Don't you think the guy who took over for Kalid Sheik would be the guy with the bigger bounty. What are you basing your instructive comment on?

The blotchy guy was caught. Abu Faraj al-Liby is the blotchy guy. Abu Faraj al-Liby succeeded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as Emir of the Martyrdom Battalion in Pakistan. Khalid Sheihk Mohammed was referred to as Al Qaeda No. 3 guy when he was Emir of the Martyrdom Battalion. Abu Faraj al-Liby has been referred to as Al Qaeda's No. 3 guy since he took over for Khalid Sheihk Mohammed. There is no confusion except for what was falsely written in this Sunday Times article.

See posts 47, 53, 72, 75 and 77.

Well, this particular issue is called terrorism, as far as I know. And while the Pakistani intelligence community DOES know a lot about terrorism, I'd say this knowledge comes more from engineering terror attacks in neighboring countries than from helping us defeating it. Ask any Indian Freeper about my "snide comments", and see what feedback you'll get. Look up who created and funded the Talibans, and see if it was France or Pakistan.

So, man, stand with your comments and your nice friends - but remember : sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.

You missed the whole point of my comment. I said if I had to take Pakistans word for the capture of theis terrorists over the Frenchman's word I would.

Did I even say Pakistan was my friend? I said nothing about supporting Pakistan's role against India. I do believe that the security forces of Pakistan are doing their own thing and the only reason they are cooperating with us is because of Musharuf (sic) and if he gets assinated they will turn on us quicker than a rattlesnake.

I don't have any blinders on man and I find your tone insulting.

No. That's the guy on the most wanted list, with the $5 million bounty. You can still collect it. :-)

To me the issue is simple - IF this Abu Faraj Al-Libbi guy is a real somebody in Al Qaeda, then you can be sure that he'll soon end up in US custody, away from the US mainland of course. If OTOH he stays in Pakistan, you can bet your last dollar that this guy is a relative nobody who has been squeezed for all he can give us.
