WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ramzi Binalshibh, one of the al Qaeda operatives most wanted by the U.S. government, has been captured and is in the hands of Pakistani authorities, U.S. government officials told CNN Friday.
Binalshibh is believed to have played a direct role in planning the September 11 terrorist hijackings. In an audio message played Thursday on the Arabic news network Al-Jazeera, Binalshibh said he had hoped to be one of the hijackers but could not obtain an entry visa into the United States.

I find this humorous, since wasn't it just yesterday that Bush finalized a $300 million dollar payment to Pakistan as part of a total package of almost $1 billion?

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf told CNN Friday that Pakistani authorities conducted an operation two days ago that netted 10 al Qaeda suspects, including an "important" person, although he could not confirm it was Binalshibh. Sounds like kudos are in order for General Musharraf, a true friend of the United States. Now, if we could only get the Germans on our side...

One at a time. I relish the old stories of Mossad agents walking into a bar, looking a terrorist in the eye just long enough for them to realize what was happening, then blowing them away. One at a time. That is what we are doing, hopefully.

Binalshibh said he had hoped to be one of the hijackers but could not obtain an entry visa into the United States. Hopefully, a speedy "exit visa" can be arranged. The virgins have been waiting.

I'll bet he rates his own plane to Gitmo.
But first he spends a week in an abandoned building on an unused army base in Turkey or Egypt, away from prying eyes and ears.

If Osama Bin Laden isn't a DNA smear by now, he's hiding out in Pakistan. Musharaf is a two-faced dictator, just like the Saudi's. I'll call hime a friend of the U.S. when he delivers Bin Laden or what's left of him

. Now, if we could only get the Germans on our side... They have already been conquered by the Greens (communists).

I've heard they don't take many of them to Gitmo... Too many TV cameras! Heard Jordan is one of the favorites.

General Musharraf, a true friend of the United States. The only thing the General considers true friends are American taxpayer dollars. Lots of them. We'll regret doing business with this man someday.
