Remember back in March when we thought they had Zawahiri trapped near Wana......and I had stumbled on that article that said Zawahiri had called Al Jazerra using a SAT phone back in Sept of 03.

Nek gets it after talking to the Beeb....I'll be...

Looks like the spooks stuck it to the BBC, but good. That was more than a shot across the bow, that was payback! I sure wouldn't want to be the BBC field correspondent in Pakistan, today.

Interesting what this attack says about the spirit of cooperation that had to exist between British and American intelligence, the U.S. military and our pal Mushi.

I heard CNN repeating over and over today: "But Pakistan doesn't have the capability to intercept satellite telephone calls", which was nothing less than a thinly veiled message to al-Qa'ida, the Taliban and other assorted Paki Islamists to tear Mushi a new one.

It is nice to see that the BBC is good for something these days. (Well my wife does like the garden shows, and I do enjoy some of the murder mysteries - particularly a Touch of Frost. I think that was a BBC production.)

Maybe they can be encouraged to interview Zarqawi, Zawahiri, and OBL. Maybe make it a conference call.
