More Good News
In case you're just getting off work like me & haven't heard, the Pakistanis may have al-Zawahri cornered.
Pakistani officials said Thursday they have a "high-value target" in the war on terror surrounded near the Afghan border and sources reported that an air strike was being launched to flush out the resistance.
Intelligence officials suggest it may be Ayman al-Zawahri— the Al Qaeda No. 2 leader and the top deputy to Usama bin Laden— but the person's identity remains uncertain.
Several sources have said that the available information indicates that he's holed up there....and may have been wounded. The Command Post is staying on top of the story, so check back there for updates.
Good hunting, gentlemen.

I work nights and this morning before going to sleep I turned CNN on (okay, I hate their perspective, but it is the only news channel I can get), turned the sound off, and set the closed caption function. I wake up often during the day and wanted to be able to glance over and see if anyone had been captured. Nothing from Pakistan, but something interesting did happen. When Wolf Blitzer was talking, the captions were complete sentences and as coherent as anything his ilk can utter. There was a transition from Blitzer to a President Bush campaign ad and the captioning completely changed. It looked as if CNN outsourced the Presidential ad captioning job to a foreign company where no one speaks English (or can even think very well in whatever their native language is). Nothing was spelled correctly and not one coherent thought appeared. Could this be an example of "the price you pay when you purchase anything from those who dislike you?"
