KHALID SHAIKH MOHAMMED WAS 'PLANNING MORE ATTACKS' ON USA...

March 10 issue In the top drawer of his desk in the Oval Office, President George W. Bush keeps a list of the most-wanted Qaeda operatives. Whenever one is captured or killed, he crosses his name off. Last week the president was able to draw a line through a very big name, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, regarded by U.S. intelligence services as the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks.
March 1 The suspected mastermind of the 9/11 attacks against the U.S., Kalid Shaik Mohamed was arrested in Pakistan. NBCs Pete Williams reports.
MOHAMMED WAS NABBED by police at a hiding place in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. The CIA had been chasing him for years. In some ways, Mohammed, sometimes called The Brain, was a more urgent target than Osama bin Laden or Al Qaedas creepy Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Why? The CIA believes that the suave, well-educated, slightly pudgy Pakistani known to the feds as KSM was getting ready to hit the United States again.

I'm still not certain as to whether Pakistan recently captured this thug, or whether they have had him for several months.

Whoever manhandled that slob to the ground must have done it by grabbing his T-shirt at the neck.

How does a man change the length and shape of his eyebrows? You have to be woman to understand the torture we go thru. Although he probably had his surgically done.

Interesting coverage on Fox. They had Mansoor Ijaz, their Middle East expert, on Rita Cosby's Sunday evening news program earlier this evening, and he laid out some interesting timelines. It seems, the tip that led to this guys capture came several weeks ago from an anonymous tip in some other Arab country (UAE, was it?)
The breakthrough was so profound that they soon figured out on whose trail they were, and Ijaz thinks that many other big Al Queda fish are in the offing in the coming days.
It leads me to wonder whether the Iraqi campaign really had been slated for execution this weekend, but postponed by Bush, on the basis of this fast and furious info coming in on this Pakistani trail.
We had Saddam detroying a missile or three, I think expecting us to commence hostilities with 117 of his missiles left intact. Now if we delay, for other strategic reasons, he'll have to come up with new excuses in the next week, why he can not continue destroying multiple missles per day.
I'm amazed at Bush's patience. But if these top AQ can provide vital intelligence info, it is possible a delay of days to weeks could save significant lives.
p.s. They noted the significant change in appearance on Fox as indicative that top AQ guys are undergoing plastic surgery to change appearances... which is also why bin Laden no longer does videos.

In the 90s, he hooked up with his nephew, Ramzi Yousef, who had organized the first WTC bombing. Living together in the Philippines, Mohammed and Yousef had big plans. They were going to try to simultaneously blow up 11 American airliners over the Pacific. The scheme was foiled when one of their co-conspirators blew himself up in his apartment in Manila. >>
I thought their apartment caught fire and they fled, leaving behind a laptop full of information about Bojinka. ???
