ABC News report: US knew the locations of senior al-Qaida leaders'
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 07:57 PM by Reckon
hideouts in Pakistan'

"ABC said Thursday it obtained a computer flash drive stolen from the U.S. base at Bagram and sold at a nearby bazaar. Such thefts of sensitive equipment were first reported in April.

ABC said the drive contained files indicating U.S. forces knew the hiding places in Pakistan of al-Qaida targets such as deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri. It said there was no mention of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts."

2. Punks at AP gave it New Title "Military says ABC report based on old info"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/afghan_us_intelligence

and added this nonsense

A U.S. spokesman, Col. Tom Collins, wouldn't address the authenticity of the report Friday, saying he could not discuss classified military information.

But the U.S. military issued a statement saying the information on the computer drive was at least 18 months old.

"This information was compiled during a time and environment that is significantly different from today and by personnel who have long since moved on," the statement said.

The statement praised Pakistan's security cooperation, saying: "It's important to remember that no one has killed or captured more senior al-Qaida terrorists than Pakistan."

Right? Like one or two a week? He once worked for the CIA to fight the Soviets. Wonder when he stopped working for them?
