#3 There are no Ayman al-Zawahri or Osama bin-Laden holed up there, just some Pakistani tribals. But you wouldn't know that listening to the Pakistanis...just another ploy to pass the $3billion 'aid package' through Congress to a country where the majority don't seem to have a very favorable view of us.

#4 I don't know... I think there is a really good chance that there is more to this than we know right now. One thing I'm curious about is the report that the AQ guys are negotiating for the return of 2 dead bodies... why the hell would they want dead bodies?... unless they were important people maybe. Not neccesarily #1 or #2 but I think they got someone important there and there may be more holed up. One thing I'm pretty confident about is that we're not being told the whole story.
