May 16 issue - Abu Faraj al-Libbi had no idea he was about to go down. Last Monday, the Qaeda operative, believed to be one of Osama bin Laden's closest henchmen, was hiding out in Mardan, a small frontier town in northwest Pakistan. As he rode along the streets on the back of a motorbike driven by another man, he came upon a group of women dressed head to toe in black burqas. Nothing unusual about that. Except that some of the women were actually men, Pakistani security agents concealing automatic weapons in the billowing folds. They had gone to Mardan after receiving tips from informants that "foreigners" were in the area. When al-Libbi reached his destination, the agents threw off their cover and rushed him. Shots were fired. Panicked, al-Libbi tried to run away. "I'm a jihadi! Protect me, help me!" he pleaded to pedestrians as he fled. No one came to his aid. He ducked into a house and locked himself inside a room. The agents lobbed tear gas through a window. Al-Libbi emerged, choking on fumes. It wasn't until later that his pursuers realized they had brought down the most wanted man in Pakistan.

NO ONE expects the Burqa'd Inquisition!
Required reading for the mothers of every suicide bomber sent to their senseless deaths by cowards who can't even handle a little tear gas...
Yes very nice reading there :)
I'm tempted to use a word, synonymous with cat, but I won't.
Teargas is nothing next to Texas cooking.
Thank GOD that the Paki's have him rather than us. No ACLU over there eh?!! No hurry to go get him either... Thank you again Pakastan for having the manhood to do unto as having been done unto!!
Best thing that arse-hole could have ever hoped for was for us to get him. Allah had no mercy for you did he Libbi? Oops, bad day continues! Ha ha!
Take 'em all swimming in shark infested waters, or march them through a billabong or two in northern Australia.
I agree , the coalitions of Allies are being entirely too nice , too humane , with these devils.
They all ought to be unable to sleep at night thinking of the fates that await them if and when they are caught.
Not some cushy prison cell with 3 square meals a day.
"Panicked, al-Libbi tried to run away. "I'm a jihadi! Protect me, help me!" he pleaded to pedestrians as he fled. No one came to his aid."
Excellent!
Hey, Don't Mess with Texas!!

Then I got stopped just shy of Texarkana - for 81 in a 75.
The nice policeman gave me a warning. LOL.
(i was doing 110 - when he clocked me. Anyone believe 140?)
I say we should pull all stops on this jackass - put panties on his head.
They will probably have it on FOX live .lol...
Most have been KILLED, a distinct form of "bringing them to justice". The rest are more useful alive because the enemy can never know when they are talking or not. This is an attempt to paint the WOT as a useless enterprise, but it won't work.
"NO ONE expects the Burqa'd Inquisition!"
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
