#2 I am not sure there is such a thing as a "secret tunnel" with construction, maintenence and convenience of use all favoring more people knowing about it rather than less...

#3 Secret Tunnels™ are available for purchase at VillainSupply.com and like vinyl windows, can be easily retrofitted to your existing fortified adobe/mudwall compound without cutting the stucco

#4 Bugs Bunny painted secret tunnels on the sides of walls and then ran through them. Elmer Fudd following behind Bugs and ran into a painted wall. Would that situation have anything to do with Waziristan, or is it just the Pak army?

#5 several secret tunnels leading from mud fortresses to a dry mountain stream

It's part of the old water supply and irrigation system common in this part of the world. Like a aquaduct, but under ground. Only secret to outsiders, they have been there for hundreds of years. Locals would know all about them. Rambo used them to sneak into Afghan fortess to rescue his friend in the third movie.

#8 And the crowing by the Right Wing Press has ceased--just another Bush Admin illusion---when we're not being frightened--we're getting hyped to capture the bad guyz--and as usual--neither event happens! And the lies from Condi and co--just keep on coming
