---somehow in the long run using suicide as a weapon doesnt seem like a great military stategy---

You remind me of the old Cheech and Chong bit about the Kamikaze pilots....."Honorable General Sir, you out of you Fu***ing mind!"

This is a typical eurotrash story. There are two guys with similar names. The one recently captured really is a big shot, but was not on the FBI list because that list first requires an indictment.

In this case, the ISI and CIA know what they have. We can only hope he sings.

If Mohammad Shehzad Islamabad of the Times says it's a goofup, then I sure as heck trust it's a goofup.

Yeah, same here. LOL

Right.. this is NOT the one who was captured...



The terrorist who was captured has a skin disorder, evidently, and was quite distinctive:

"One senior official described al-Libbi as "shocked" and enraged."

Thanks for the link.

The A-hole was wounded, but initial reports claimed that he was only "sick." Gosh I love double entendres.

The notebook was a terrific prize.

I wish that I could destroy my old hard drives so easily as that pig and his cohorts claim that he did. 

Perhaps someday Al Jazeera and the AP public relations experts who purchase the AJ  BS articles (for the so called journalists hiding behind the protective cover of our US military) might one day insist on just such a thing. Objective news, and journalism, brought to you by Al Jazeera and Dan Rather et al reporting.

The terrorists ought to go and watch the old movies where the Detectives were able to reassemble ashes from burned photographs. LoL! . Purging a hard drive is a hard job. All your captured hard drive info are belong to us!

I am telling you that we are fighting with a bunch of empty Burkas here. (What do Muslim men call their dresses by the way?")

Gosh I have no business ranting out loud on a perfectly quiet evening here......

Abu Faraj al-Liby succeeded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as Emir of the Martyrdom Battalion in Pakistan. He was wanted for two assasination attempts on Musharraf. He been considered Al Qaeda's number three man ever since Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was apprehended. This is not mixup. The artilce from the Sunday Times is BS.

Geraldo on Fox News is about to talk about the capture of UBL's #3 after this commercial. It sounds as if he (Geraldo) has not heard about this article.

One American official tried to explain the absence of al-Libbi’s name on the wanted list by saying: “We did not want him to know he was wanted.

He is on Double SECRET probation
