Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

THE PENTAGON SAYS IT HAS ONE OF AL QAEDA'S MOST SENIOR OPERATIVES IN ITS CUSTODY, HE WAS CAUGHT BY THE CIA.




http://abcnews.go.com?CMP=EMC-1396

Can you refer to this instance as bringing another Al Qaeda "Sr. operative" out of the closet when things get hot in the White House?

[Ian David]

1. I bet he's been in custody for weeks, and they just now "happen" to be announcing it.

And isn't it amazing that he was captured through law enforcement and not a massive military campaign?

So glad we caught another "number two guy."

[Frustratedlady]

According to CNN, he had been in custody since 2003 (I think)

Don't hold me to that date, but I think Barbara said 2003. The CIA had him in a secret holding site.

They admit they have them now?

[Ian David]

12. Did it take THAT long to torture a confession out of him? n/t

[John Q. Citizen]

2. Did they finally get Cheney? Good.

[SaveElmer]

3. Probably the guy that empties Bin Laden's chamber pot...

In the morning...

"Bush Administration Official: This guy knows where the shit is buried"

[Merlot]

10. So that's what they mean by "#2 guy"

[Frustratedlady]

15. Clever!

[SaveElmer]

16. Ba dum Bum...rim shot...

:rofl:

[displacedtexan]

4. Hm. Makes you wonder what news is about to break, doesn't it?

Every single time we "catch" a al quaeda guy,
it's a diversion.

Wonder what it is today.

[halobeam]

5. omg..they could say they have Osama and I would want his dna tested

I don't believe anything they say anymore. One day, they will actually tell the fing truth and we will be screwed b/c we didn't believe them.

I hate this fing administration.

edit: bad typo...bad

[AndyA]

6. Well, what a coincidence!

Another #2, perhaps? They must have thousands of "#2s" out there. And we've caught 30-40 of them, so far.

I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with all the other bad news the White House would like to bury.

The AG scandal.

Monicagate.

The bill that supports the troops that * says he'll veto.

The falling poll numbers.

The Rice subpoena.

So much corruption, so little time. :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Did you ever see The Prisoner?

"Who are you?"
"The new Number 2"

[AlCzervik]

7. another "#2" guy? worst job ever.

[Benhurst]

8. How many "most senior operatives" does Al Qaeda have?

If you were to believe "captures" trotted out for propaganda purposes, you'd have to assume the organization is all chiefs and no indians.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. they are probably on the White House payroll

[Patsy Stone]

9. Is this the same guy they just keep finding over and over?

Like a catch and release program?

[Straight Shooter]

11. !

Catch and release. :rofl:

[liberal N proud]

13. AGAIN?

[Bitwit1234]

14. Posted this in another thread

sure is dangerous to be number two or three in the Al-queada food chain. They always manage to catch number two...or number three, never any of the rank and file...and never ever ever have the come close to number one....Osama Bin Laden.

[loudsue]

17. Americans are no longer even waiting to catch #1 Al Qaeda.

This news spin just does not fly anymore.

:kick::kick::kick:

[zbdent]

19. They've run out of "Number 2 al Qaeda" guys?

wow ... I didn't realize they captured all 100000 of them already ...

[rocktivity]

20. 176 Al Qeda suspsects arrested in Saudi Arabia, now this?

Hey, maybe the surge is working...by the way, is he ANOTHER #3 guy?

:eyes:
rocknation

[SoxFan]

21. Another one.

Another "senior operative". Sweet raisin danish, these guys need a management consultant. They have more top officials than a typical public works department.

What I want to know is when will we capture THE senior Al-Quaeda operative.

[guidod]

22. Hmmmmm??...The Day

after the democratic debate. Hmmmmmmmmm???

[marmar]

23. Yet another No. 2?

The Papermate factory doesn't have as many No. 2s as al-Qaeda.
