EXCLUSIVE: Pakistani Military Sources Say Zawahiri May Be Dead
ABC News ^ | January 13, 2006 | Brian Ross

Jan. 13, 2006 — Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.

U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might be in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims.

OF COURSE....CNN would find all of the ways that this would be a BAD thing if Zawahiri is dead!!

Pathetic isn't it.

And soon they will decide that we whacked him instead of capturing him because we wouldn't be allowed to torture him.

****wiretapping overseas calls****

Last week I read the Kennedy family have five hundred million dollars in off shore bank accounts where they pay no taxes on the interest while receiving yearly tax free checks.

Could it be Teddy doesn't want anyone listening to his phone calls? It's doubtful he cares about terrorist taking down the country.

No, they are having live "speculating." Reporting is when you know something to report

True, but at least they had video of the damage. More than I can say about Fox's "Cruise Ship Murder Mystery" reporting.

Can't say but I always thought he was live. According to my super secret talkie guide this is as early as he comes on.

True. That's why we only switch from FNC to CNN when Greta comes on.

Here is the latest from the Associated Press:
U.S. Airstrike Targeted al-Qaida Hideout

by RIAZ KHAN
DAMADOLA, Pakistan - An airstrike in a remote Pakistani tribal area on Friday killed at least 17 people, and a senior Pakistani official said the target was a suspected al-Qaida hideout that may have been frequented by high-level operatives, possibly the No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri.

Citing unnamed American intelligence officials, U.S. networks reported that it was a CIA strike and that al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, could have been at the compound in the Bajur area or about to arrive.

There was no confirmation from either the Pakistani or U.S. government, but a senior Pakistani government official told The Associated Press that "there is 50-50 chance that some al-Qaida personality was at the home" that was hit.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said that he had heard that the al-Qaida figure may have been al-Zawahri and that the information would be clearer later Saturday.

Believe it our not...I turned the radio to Hugh Hewitt a minute ago...and he has on Irwin Chemerinsky who testifed vociferously against Alito today...

and was adamant that Alito's views on Presidential powers is all wrong.

Hugh asked Chemerinsky if he had a problem if this strike on Zawahiri by the CIA was ordered by Bush..WITHOUT a warrant....(he was being sarcastic, I am sure)...

But, Chemerinsky didn't catch the sarcasm...and gave a long assed answer...but basically said that since Zawahiri was a "known terrorist" around the world...it is probably OK!!!


ROFLMAO....these guys take themselves so serisly!!
