The CIA is to be congratulated - I suspect Khalid will reveal much, given time.

Bump!

Not to be confused with UCal Berkeley.

This is exactly what happened on 24 a few weeks back. Well, they were a little rougher on the show.

[snooker]

This is really good news, if it holds up. No reason to doubt but...

smoke 'em out, hunt 'em down, bring justice to 'em. One at a time.

you can run but you can't hide.

No. At the Pakistani Sandhurst they actually learn something, although apparently it's mainly how to blow things up and kill infidels.

One can only hope that these children look like their mother.

[Howlin]

Keep pumping them out, Ivan. You're making my day/night.

Need some caffine?

ROFL Right.

Environments conducive to the rise of terrorism include international and national environments, as well as subnational ones such as universities, where many terrorists first become familiar with Marxist-Leninist ideology or other revolutionary ideas and get involved with radical groups. Russell and Miller identify universities as the major recruiting ground for terrorists...

The physiological approach to terrorism suggests that the role of the media in promoting the spread of terrorism cannot be ignored in any discussion of the causes of terrorism...

Moreover, in Guttman's analysis, the terrorist requires a liberal rather than a right-wing audience for success. Liberals make the terrorist respectable by accepting the ideology that the terrorist alleges informs his or her acts. The terrorist also requires liberal control of the media for the transmission of his or her ideology...

LOL....thats a hoot!

I dunno. We haven't seen their mother. She might look like this:

Then, given Daddy's looks, the spawn would be totally screwed in the Looks Dept.

[RummyChick]

I hope someone is in there telling him they will torture the children if he doesn't talk ..not one of our guys of course ;-)..when it is appropriate in the psychological timing.


After all, we can lie to this guy to get information.

We could even doctor photos if necessary. He probably wouldn't believe we would do it but we could tell him they are in the hands of some radical enemy.

I don't advocate hurting the kids but I do advocate telling this SOB that we are if it will help him talk.

I somehow think he wouldn't be moved. Little martyrs for Allah.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Brutal.

Funny, but brutal.

[TADSLOS]

Now that that is just plain disgusting to look at.

You owe me a dinner and a keyboard for posting that pic... I lost both.

He fled just hours before the raid but his two young sons, along with another senior al-Qaeda member, were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment.

If he ran off and left the two boys to be caught by authorities, how much care does he have for them really?
