Captured Al Qaeda Computer Geek + Car Battery + Electrodes = Lots of useful information.

Don't forget to put BVD's on his head and have GI Jane give a big 'thumbs-up'.

[VaBthang4]

Is that supposed to be Manhattan?

[CindyDawg]

Why is the government releasing this though?

[meanoldfatbastrd]

if attaching jumper cables to the scrotum of a captured al qaeda computer geek will save one American life, i only have one thing to say...............................red is positive, black is negative!

[kilowhskey]

Where is Lynndie England when we really need her? /sarcasm off

[Ditter]

What is in SF? My flakey liberal cousins are in SF. If Al Quaeda takes them out it will be 2 less votes for Kerry & 2 less votes for Nader. CA is probably safe. Too many Kerry voters.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Why is the government releasing this though?

My question as well.

[cmsgop]

I would guess the Prudential Building.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Why was this pulled from Breaking News? See post #22, if true this is the biggest story of the year so far.

[CindyDawg]

Yeah I think they would want to hurt GB. It worked in Spain. They don't realize who they are messing with but I can see them trying it again. Why is the government releasing this though?. Last night it was about NM. What is HS up to, I wonder?

[Soul Seeker]

I'll second that blessing. Musharraf takes a lot of grief. He came though. Thank you.

[zeaal]

It's impossible. This terror alert is a political ploy by the Republicans.

[Mike Fieschko]

Why is the government releasing this though?

A reminder to voters that the grownups are in charge.

[Buck72]

My guess would be either the TransAmercia building or the golden gate.

[GOPJ]

Thanks. Freepers have the best information...

The graphic has been making the rounds on the Arabic message boards, not known if those are the actual image taken from the hard drive of computer geek..

[POA2]

We have to nail UBL and Al Zawahiri - One of these captures is going to lead to something big one of these times -

However, using the courier system....makes it very hard to get any "actionable intelligence" - considering the time delay that comes from this system - by the time we catch a person...it is most likely weeks since the message was given out -

Plus I'm sure there is delay techniques as well being implemented by Al Qeade to even further offset the possible damage of a courier being captured -

[Libertina]

Good one, Leni ;)

[steplock]

They would want to hurt poor lil us now, would they?

www.alasra.org seems to be anti-GTMO jihadist website I found a few interesting videos and music(??!??)

I will not vouch for the safety of some of these files! The first one above is ok - tested!

[apackof2]

LOL!

[ride the whirlwind]

In explaining the decision to call a new terror alert, American officials would say only that the evidence obtained by the C.I.A. after the arrest of the Qaeda figure in Pakistan had provided a richer, more credible source of intelligence than could have been provided by any single individual. They declined to say whether the "documentary evidence" included physical documents or might also include electronic information stored on computers, like copies of e-mail communications.

Sounds like a bit of a mother lode - good cache!
