Pentagon Says High-Value Detainee Muhammad Rahim, Alleged UBL Assistant, Captured

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says authorities have captured a high-level Al Qaeda figure who helped Usama bin Laden escape from Afghanistan in 2001.

Officials declined to say when or where Mohammad Rahim was captured -- announcing only that he was handed over by the CIA to the Pentagon earlier this week and is being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman says Rahim is a close associate of bin Laden and has ties to al-Qaida organizations throughout the Middle East.

Whitman says Rahim helped prepare the hideout at Tora Bora, a mountain area used by bin Laden as the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Whitman says Rahim assisted Al Qaeda's escape from the area during the U.S. operation to try to catch the al-Qaida leader.

"CIA can watch and ask questions while someone else goes medieval on him can't they."

Especially in Lahore.

I love these delayed announcements. It means my tax dollars have been at work for a while previously...

These guys are TAUGHT to claim they were tortured. He will know that we are only using ‘soft’ techniques.

I doubt we will get much info, but we’ll take a lot of grief about his ‘torture’ and ‘kidnapping’ from our own Left and from the foreign leftists and organizations like Amnesty Internaitonal.

Please, oh please, please reassure me we haven’t done anything horrible and inhuman to this poor victim of Bush’s warmongering, nothing like [sob!] putting panties on his head, or making a dog bark at him, oh the humanity, and the little children, won’t someone please think of the children?

How long as "UBL" been the style? Are we calling him Usama now in order to avoid confusing him with Obama?

Well in Arabic it's spelled with a U, but I'm pretty sure this "Usama" stuff is to avoid mixups with Obama, seeing as it has only come about since Obama entered the campaign.
