Curiouser and curiouser bump.

In connection to the above, Laurie mentioned Khalid Shaykh Mohammed when she was on John Gibson's program, too. He has been captured since Laurie gave this interview (excerpted) with PBS in 2001 . . .

Mark Steyn: America is winning

KSM is known in al-Qa’eda circles as ‘The Brain’, and his picture on the FBI ‘Most Wanted’ list shows a cold but dapper fellow with a trim beard — like the Westernised Arab academics who play the talkshow circuit or, indeed, an assistant choreographer on a Broadway revival. . .

By contrast, the fellow seized in Rawalpindi is a wreck — haggard, bleary, unshaven, a loser who’s run out of everything except back hair. Asked to account for the stark difference in appearance, several experts pointed out that he’s a ‘master of disguise’. In that case, the master of disguise is doing a great job of convincingly passing himself off as a guy who’s been sleeping in a hedge for a month. The state of KSM provides a glimpse of the career options available to top al-Qa’eda honchos: either, like bin Laden, you go into deep cover as a few specks of DNA discreetly sprinkled in the rubble of Tora Bora, or, like ‘The Brain’, you’ve a choice between hunkering down in a ‘safe house’ or staying on the move, never knowing, even when you’re motoring through the emptiness of the Yemeni desert, if some unmanned CIA Predator will drop the big one on you. Of course, many al-Qa’eda operatives are hoping to be on a fast track to martyrdom and the 72 virgins. But you gotta have a couple of guys who stay alive long enough to instruct the neophytes in how to kill themselves, and right now al-Qa’eda’s management structure is looking severely hobbled.

I went to war on terror.

[oldglory]

Matchett-PI for head of the CIA!!!!

My son called me shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attack to inform me Saddam Hussein was mucho involved!---- He mentioned Laurie Mylroie, to me, and suggested I "check her out"

I do hope Laurie gets much more exposure--she's bright,articulate and obviously well informed!!

[backhoe]

That is fascinating- I do wonder who reads FR... it is an incentive to keep a civil tongue in one's head!

What's going on? It looks like you posted the pictures of 3 different people. The man on the right appears to be a black man with clear beard divits underneath his lower lip (and the beard is lower on his cheeks). The man on the left has a filled in beard, higher on the cheeks, and appears to be a white Arab. The eyebrows also seem to have different angles. I haven't even mentioned the "fullness" of the nose, which could be a lighting thing, but of course the glasses mean nothing either way.

You couldn't prove by me that the left and the bottom are of different people. But the right picture is clearly someone else.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Right!

I don't think this is some obscure BBS where The VRWC crowd congregate and is ignored!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

That is very interesting!

Mylroie Testifies

[Matchett-PI]

Thanks for finding that testimony and linking it here!

Bump!

[backhoe]

Appreciate that link... Wallaby, for some reason your name popped into my mind a few days ago, and I haven't seen your name in replies lately- you doing OK?

[GOPJ]

Great post, thoughtful and worth reading. Reminded me of the old days...

[Wallaby]

>you doing OK?

Just great -- thanks for asking. Until today, I haven't been posting as much, but I'm regularly lurking.

One feature of the old search engine I really miss is the ability to look at recent posts for a list of several of my favorite posters. Now I can only check them one-person-at-a-time, and so I often miss what many people I like to read are saying (unless they specifically bump me, of course).
