Captured Al-Qaeda kingpin is case of ‘mistaken identity’

THE capture of a supposed Al-Qaeda kingpin by Pakistani agents last week was hailed by President George W Bush as “a critical victory in the war on terror”. According to European intelligence experts, however, Abu Faraj al-Libbi was not the terrorists’ third in command, as claimed, but a middle-ranker derided by one source as “among the flotsam and jetsam” of the organisation.
Al-Libbi’s arrest in Pakistan, announced last Wednesday, was described in the United States as “a major breakthrough” in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.



Bush called him a “top general” and “a major facilitator and chief planner for the Al- Qaeda network”. Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state, said he was “a very important figure”. Yet the backslapping in Washington and Islamabad has astonished European terrorism experts, who point out that the Libyan was neither on the FBI’s most wanted list, nor on that of the State Department “rewards for justice” programme.

he's very scary looking, and the timing of these announcements is automatically suspect.

so mo, i have to agree, it was all a cheap hoax, like the war and bush himself.

I was distracted by this "high profile capture" but I seem to remember something about a memo ....

that memo is a distant memory

and don't expect to see this on TV anywhere except, maybe, The Daily Show.

weddings yesterday...

Just incredible!

it always comes but under the cover of darkness or on the back page.


BE VERY AFRAID!! WE CAUGHT HIM!!!!!TERROR TERROR VICTORY BUSH SUCCESS!!!!!

The "islamabad look' is not going to be big on the runways in paris and new york this season judging by the picture.

From WMD's to Jessica Lynch to Pat Tillman, there has been no lie too great or too small this administration will not tell.
