[history]
So much for the theory that President Bush's "obsession" with Saddam Hussein has detracted from the war on terrorism. The apprehension in Pakistan of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed certainly cut off that tired argument at the knees.
As chief of operations, Mr. Mohammed was one of the biggest squids in the al-Qaida network. He is believed to have masterminded for Osama bin Laden the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. He's also thought to have orchestrated 1998's simultaneous bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.

I have to agree about the pheasant under glass.
I've never cared for calamari. :)

I kinda like the title of the article.
IMHO it does a good job of attracting the curious to an editorial of substance.

I'm not sure how the squid got on ice, but squids are cold blooded & cannot survive for long out of water.

Squids have 10 arms. The animal you are talking about has 8.
