At this moment they are announcing the capture of a High Level Terrorist

[ThomWV]

Not 10 minutes after they lost on immunity.

[LSK]

1. wouldnt they be announcing the escape of him?

:shrug:

[tachyon]

5. More mexed missages?

:shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. WOW... they are SO DAMN PREDICTABLE!

[Nitrogenica]

3. Al Qaeda's No. 2 man? I can't believe anything they say anymore.

[niyad]

6. how many no. 2's ARE there?

sadly, some fools are going to buy this.

I was expecting it last night.

[underpants]

11. It's is a remarkably thin organizational structure

basically whomever is the newest guy is #3 or "the rank and file" as soon as someone else signs up he gets to be a #2. It is a marvel of recruiting.

[sarcasmo]

21. This makes at least seven.

[zanne]

7. They keep catching the #2 guy over and over again. nt

[LSK]

12. remember when he was killed but found in a jail in Egypt a few days later?

:D

[quadriga]

19. I thought Zawahiri was the No. 2 guy.

[baldguy]

4. They finally have Bush in custody?

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Is this a breaking story or a guess?

I'm away doing other things

[ThomWV]

10. Breaking story, but already it sounds fishy

Sounds like they've had the guy for a while, at least a few days.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I wonder if this "high level terrorist" was captured weeks ago? That seems to be their

modus operandi, isn't it?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

13. Cheney's been arrested?

[Supersedeas]

14. probably been in custody since October or something

[Maine-i-acs]

15. With the FISA law expired? How?

I thought we were in grave danger of never catching any terra-ists again if'n we didn't agree to whatever laws W shoved down our throats ...

[JackRiddler]

16. Just like they timed the Padilla announcement back in 2002 ...

to distract from the unravelling of part of the September 11th story, with the news that Bush was informed through the August 6 PDB and Coleen Rowley's letter to Mueller III. They had held on Padilla for at least a month prior to the announcement.

It's the M.O.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. Captured last summer, torture complete, announced at their leisure.

I call bullshit. Mohammad Rahim has been under their control for six months or more.

[Gman]

18. So it seems they do very well under the old FISA

without telecom immunity.

20. Detained by the CIA since 2007

Rahim, an Afghan national, was detained in the summer of 2007, according to a statement CIA Director Michael Hayden gave to CIA employees. The CIA transferred him into Defense Department custody earlier this week, according to Whitman.

Whitman would not say where or how Rahim was initially detained. He also would not say who captured him.
But Hayden said Rahim was transferred into U.S. custody after his detention, which could mean the detainee was first held by non-U.S. forces.

"Rahim was eventually moved into U.S. custody and -- given his past and the continuing threat he presented to American interests -- placed in CIA's interrogation program," Hayden said.

I bet he's been at Diego Garcia as are many more that are brought out
for propaganda news spikes.
