Pakistan has refused to identify the second al-Qaeda figure, but speculation is focused on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of bin Laden's chief lieutenants, who was interviewed recently in Karachi along with bin al-Shibh by al-Jazeera, the Arab cable television station. We need to thank Al Jezeera for their unintended help on this if it turns out that both of these guys were captured cuz it sure seems like that Al Jezeera reporter may have had more on him that a reporter's notepad.

I'm not so sure Al Jazeera's help was unintended.

Good point about al Jazeera's help, but maybe it wasn't quite so unintended. Al Jazeera's HQ is in Qatar. This is one sheikdom that seems to have recognized the current direction of the wind.

If the Muslim news service is compromised it will serve to further isolate the al Queda cells. They will have to view with great suspicion any info transmitted by al Jazeera. Any doubt, confusio, or bewilderment that can be directed al Queda's way is cause to celebrate.
