BBC World News quoting NYT says US has captured major Taliban commander in Pakistan.
Apparently it happened several days ago but the Obama administration had the NYT withhold it for several days but it published several hours ago.

As usual this guy is quoted as being "the second in command".

Their latest complaint was that Obama was killing too many.

2. Let's start a pool...
When will #2 be captured again? I'll pick April 27. Early enough not to get lost in the weekend news dump, and yet a full week before primaries.

5. Being the Taliban or Al Qaeda XO is apparently a crappy high risk, short turnover job!

8. It used to be second in command in Al Qaeda. Now it's second in command in the Taliban.
Hey Obama needs to catch his fair share of "seconds".
