| #12 First Zarqawi and then Zawahiri? This could go down in the Official History of the War on Terror as the biggest day. Any votes for other top days in the WoT? The day the Taliban fell? The day KSM (aka Ron Jeremy) was nailed? |

| #7 Ayman al-Zawahiri is the man, according to MS-NBC. The talking still-photo believes that he is not physically close to bin-Laden. Nonetheless... stay tuned. |

| #6 D.B. Cooper......there was a nightclub here some years ago that was named after that guy. As a matter of fact, above the little dance floor was a slowly rotating mannequin mounted on a motor of some kind in a skydiving position with a face painted on it, and in the mannequin's hand was a suitcase. |

| #5 Additional from AP: Pakistani troops and paramilitary forces using artillery and helicopter gunships launched a new assault Thursday against al-Qaida and Taliban suspects in a tribal region near Afghanistan, two days after a fierce assault that left dozens dead. In a report from Islamabad, CNN said Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf told them Pakistani forces had surrounded a "high-value target" that was being protected by al-Qaida fighters. CNN said the identity of the target was not known. The new push began in Azam Warsak, Shin Warsak and Kaloosha villages in South Waziristan, the tribal region that borders Afghanistan, said Brig. Mahmood Shah, the chief of security for the area. Army spokesman Gen. Shaukat Sultan said there have been casualties in the new offensive, but he had no details of how many or on which side. Rush sez CNN sez Perv sez he thinks it's one of "top four". I sez it's time for 48 hour rule. |
