Alleged Terrorist "Mastermind" Abu Faraj al-Libbi Caught In Burqa Scam!
And we bitch about the burqa endlessly. Anyone want to guess how many times Bin Laden has been out strolling in his?

Burqa trap set for terror suspect

Libbi is said to have hidden in a guest room in this house
Pakistani agents wearing burqas seized al-Qaeda suspect Abu Faraj al-Libbi by ambushing his motorbike in a rural town, police told the BBC.
The man alleged to be a top al-Qaeda organiser was riding pillion and managed to run into a house where agents flushed him out with tear gas.

He has been held at an undisclosed location since his capture at Mardan, 60km (37 miles) from Peshawar.

1. Interestingly on Keith Olbermann last night
He thought the pic of al-Libbi looked like he was dead.
I couldn't say without looking at the actual photo. Can anyone verify that?

3. I Don't Think He Is Dead. But, He Has Clearly Had A VERY Bad Day!
It is not really the ideal photo-op circumstances. These guys always look messed up.

Remember Khalid Sheikh Mohammad? Time to make the donuts!

He didn't look much like this in his mugshot:

4. James Brown is a terrorist now?
:rofl:

Of course, his wife probably thinks so. (I probably shouldn't be laughing - domestic violence isn't laughable).
