How reliable is This story?

Well, you can look into the profiles of the two men, and I checked them out immediately after the capture announcement, before this "mistaken identity" story came out, so it's true that he wasn't on the wanted list even.

You'll also hear stories on FR that contradict the reports in the media, such as "he was singing like a birdie" versus "he didn't say anything--even truth serum hasn't revealed anything"....so I do take it all with a grain of salt.

Christina Lamb is one of the most intrepid journalists I have ever known. She has been kicked out of Pakistan a couple of times for reporting on terrorist connections to Pakistani security forces. Once she hid herself between dead bodies in an ambulance to get to the Afghan war front during the Soviet invasion.

Mohammed Shehzad is the premier Pakistani reporter on jihadist groups. My firm and many think-tanks and security firm dealing with South Asia in Washington and in the West pay this guy mucho dinero to get weekly/monthly customized updates on jihadist activity in Pakistan and Al Qaeda related tidbits.

Quite credible IMHO.
