The arrest of Abu Farraj al-Libbi, a Libyan who is also wanted in two attempts to assassinate Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, is seen by U.S. officials as significant because of his alleged control over the daily operations of al-Qaida.

President Bush called the arrest a "critical victory in the war on terrorism."

Ditto that. Every day, I thank God that Geo. W. Bush is President, and every day I ask God to protect Pres. Musharraf.

We are getting closer - But just squeezing this guy and thus finding out where UBL is....It isn't that simple - (they don't operate that way...we have learned...location info is not kept between al Qeade)

Nonetheless, UBL and Al Zawahiri's days are numbered....one of these days they are going to zig and our shooters are going to zag....and we'll have him!

I question the timing of this capture. Clearly a Rovian plot to take the heat off the Presidents tanking poll numbers.

This photo explains a lot. If I looked that bad I'd want to kill myself too. Only difference is I wouldn't take innocents with me.

Anyone that ugly has to be a terrorist! Sooner or later, we're going to get them all and hopefully more dead than alive.

This joker definitely looks like "darkside" influence has had its affect.

Hopefully the pakies will glean as much information as they can out of him...then suicide him in prison before some bogus kangaroo court can "accidentally" set him free.

I'd like him smeared in pig grease before the fun begins! A video of him screaming to Allah while being greased up would be priceless!

I know for security purposes they can't tell us this yet, but I wonder where in Pakistan he was captured.

Rush just had a thing on his show yesterday about ugly children being less well cared for by their parents. So it makes sense. In a junk science sort of way. And we all know junk science is the best and tastiest science.
