The bigger story is one that has been completely ignored. Back in March, the NYT published an article disclosing that we were listening to al-Qaeda phone calls. One week later, we bombed a Pakistan al-Qaeda meeting, killing dozens of al-Qaeda leaders, but we missed the main target, al-Zawahri. And the very likely reason why we missed him was that he decided not to come after he became spooked upon reading in the NYT that we were listening to his phone calls.
Are you freakin' serious?
