Top Al Qaeda operative taken into US custody
10 minutes ago
The United States has taken into custody a top al-Qaeda operative who plotted to assassinate Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf and other officials, a Pentagon spokesman said Friday.
Abd al Hadi al-Iraqi, who was taken to the US navy prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba about a week ago, was intercepted while trying to reach Iraq to take over Al-Qaeda operations and to plot attacks from there against western targets outside Iraq, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said.
He is "one of Al-Qaeda's highest ranking and senior operatives at the time of his detention.

The Democrats will make sure he has the best lawyers our tax dollars can buy
I think you’re right about supporting it, but it should be noted that Obama sponsored it. Unless he was one of 100 co-sponsors, this is a top priority for him.
But knowing how Islam seems to work these days, Muslims have to obey a long list of rules that none of them even know. So what is halal today might not be halal tomorrow.
The hijab suddenly becomes the burka.
Whadda ya think it is? 1943? Those were the good ole' days.
This is an excellent an informed post. Thank you.
He has been US custody since LATE 2006..
Incredible.
Thanks again for all your help in getting this into Breaking.
Did you read what Dr. Peter Hammond had to say about the Islamization process when Muslims reach 5%. There may be less in Illinois but they had Obama’s help.
The point is that this bill altered Illinois state law to formally add components of Sharia law. A little bit here — a little bit there.
But I will add to the list to explain this to those who are unaware of the Islamization process and appreciate your suggestion.
I don't know of any states that have altered their laws to comply with kosher requirtements -- although if it has happened, it happened in New York.
Bottom line -- that's Sharia law.
Oh, don't say that. The ACLU will be in high dudgeon.
This, of course, means that they've used all of his intel.

Was all over the news yesterday. Here is one link. I am sure you can find the transcript of his interview with the AP.
I have been the subject of such good work and it ain’t fun.
Excellent point, SFC. excellent.
Of course he means withdrawing from this war. Rat's need to be systematically challenged on this blatantly dishonest terminology.
Even if moonbats believe it (or pretend to) there's little chance that an American/Coalition withdrawal will "end" the war. The opposite is far more likely.
After all the end goal of the aggressors is not simply to expel Americans. That's merely an interim step to their ultimate purpose of bringing down the Iraqi government and (ideally) establishing an fascistic Islamic state or (next best) creating a "failed state" in which jihadists can maintain regional refuges and training sites.
Why in the name of Allah would the enemy stop bombing mosques and marketplaces because we suddenly moved them closer to their goal? The natural inclination of any such force (let alone one as depraved as that of the mass murdering mosque bombers) would be to intensify their efforts as their goal comes within reach.
And what if the enemy does bring down the Iraqi government? That's unlikely to "end the war" either. The more probable outcome is a REAL civil war that will make the current "sectarian violence" look like a church picnic.

It’s quite effective. The captive gets to see Helen Thomas take them off first, after a baked bean and onion lunch.
If it were Bin Laden that had been captured we may as well have let him go as per Romney. He of course said it’s not worth the expense to capture him.
Romney's remark about Osama, as presented by the article referenced above:
• The country would be safer by only "a small percentage" and would see "a very insignificant increase in safety" if al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was caught because another terrorist would rise to power. "It's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person," Romney said. Instead, he said he supports a broader strategy to defeat the Islamic jihad movement.
I hope you will agree that there is a big difference in the statement "it's not worth the expense" and "it's not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars".
I also hope you see there's a big difference between not thinking it is worth billions to catch someone, and suggesting we should release them IF we caught them.
Lastly, I totally agree, catching Bin Laden at this point would not significantly change the threat level to our country. Bin Laden seems to be a minor player now, with others who have more mobility running the show.
This is the correct response to the democrats hypocritical any hysterical complaints that "we aren't doing all we can do" to catch Osama, and that Osama should be the total focus of the war on terror.
Do you disagree with that assessment? Do you think we should spend billions to find Osama, and that doing so would make us a lot safer? If so, are there any republican presidential candidates who agree with you?
I would rather send a package of razor blades to his office...
Perhaps he would do the "honorable" thing, now that he has been exposed as a coward, traitor and worthless POS...
Semper Fi
“Well I’m sure Patrick Leahy will want to insure his constitutional rights protected...........”
How about we try Leahy and Reid, and insure that their constitutional rights are protected? ;)
Muslims eat kosher foods. Trust me on this.
I will say that killing UBL and Zawahiri is of great importance...and yes, it would certainly make this country safer. For a variety of reasons.
I agree with you. Muscharuf has been ous strongest ally of the region. They had no intelligence system when we got there and were being over run by Usama’s idiots. At one time during the initial fighting in Afghanistan, Usama told his followers in Pakistan...Stay there...Don’t come NOW.
“Some people are saying” that he told investigators that Leahey, Reid, Kerry and Murtha are on the Al Qaeda payroll.
