#1 Pakis move out, Binny thinks he has a kingdom, Wet Teams move in. This might get good.

#2 It would take the starch out of the democrats sails if Binny or Zawahri were nabbed between now and election time. Would love to see the dhemmis scrambling to spin that story.

I can see it now:

"CIA operatives operating illegally in Pakistan nab high ranking AQ representative." The story would go on to blame Pres. Bush and talk about how evil America is in the WOT. There would be ample reminders of Afghanistan prison abuses and Guantanamo, ya da ya da ya da... More at 6:00 p.m."

#3 Either that or they blame Bush of rolling him out right before the election to make the Democrats look bad. 'Cuz we have him in a secret prison under DIA. He is a CIA plant, after all.

#4 The other possibility is that if we catch Binny and Zaw, that the Dems will say that we have al Q and we can all go home now. Then they will cut the military budget and spend it on pork and claim the victory. Or something like that. The Dems are more insidious an enemy than al Q because at least you know where you stand with al Q. And I am not kidding about this.

#5 Either that or they blame Bush . . .
the Dems will say that . . .
Would love to see the dhemmis . . .

frankly, let's just catch the bastard first. I don't care about blame or credit. I just want that f**ker in our custody. lots of pics. Preferably with him lookin' scared. And unlike some, I'd love for him to have to go to Guantanamo and sit in a cell like all the others, simply treated like the POS that he is.

#7 CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan
Anybody seen Plame picking up the twins lately? Or does Joe usually "do the time" in the kiddee pick up line?

#8 Somehow it seems to me that we shouldn't be reading about this if ABC News had any sense of responsibility.

But then, that's how I felt the last 20 times that I've read about Bin Laden's "impending doom" over the last 5 and a half years.

#9 It would kind of cool to have Ayman and binny at Gitmo for the following reasons;

-- to see which US law firms take them as clients

-- to listen to the NGOs, leftists, tranzis, etc. complain that these two aren't getting enough hallel food, prayer rugs and whatnot

-- to have the Commander Gitmo say "well we haven't been able to get much intel out of them, too bad we can't use aggressive questioning"

#10 PlanetDan: I think you misspelled 'pieces' as 'pics.'

#11 Question, why make this info public?

#12 Question, why make this info public?

Perv has taken some political hits lately and this shows he is playing ball with the US. There is probably a large FMS case in front of congress right now and Perv wants to be seen favorable.

#14 ABC is giving this and similar stories a lot of play.
