Military Intelligence

During my stay in Hawaii I had the misfortune of witnessing a Fox News gush-fest about the apparent capture of Al-Qaeda's number three guy by the US military. Sadly, however, I was not in the US long enough to see their subsequent embarassment at the revelation that the US military had actually captured an intern.

From Pakistani interior minister, Aftab Khan Sherpao: “The capture of al-Libbi will have made [Al-Qaeda] very apprehensive. Whether big fry or small fry, they’re on the run, I can tell you that.”

Yeah, Aftab. When they're done laughing, I'm sure they'll get around to doing a little running (or brisk walking).
