[history]
Washington -- Last summer, after the CIA received credible specific warnings that Osama bin Laden was planning a major attack against U.S. targets, the agency clandestinely worked with police and security services in 20 foreign countries to arrange the arrest and interrogation of 12 al Qaeda operatives.
Quote from Wash Post---story: "Disruption," a senior intelligence official said recently, "is doing something that throws the terrorists off their game plan. . . . It takes possible participants off the streets."
CIA 'had the opportunity, but not the authority, to kill leader of Taliban'

The American military missed a prime opportunity to kill the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, seven days ago because of bureaucracy in the chain of command, The New Yorker magazine said.

I tried to post these news stories and comments above on the 16, but was unable to do for some unseen reason, so I emailed them to myself, but was unable to retrieve them from email until now.
Good info, T! But I gotta ask: Disneyworld in China, T? ;-)

It's what we get for fighting with a hand tied behind our back. The law is resonable, but should be unless the Chief says to go ahead.

Omar, the great one-eyed leader of the Taliban, is a nut. He is the perfect leader for your enemies. If you kill him, he will be replaced by someone smarter. As it is, the leader of the Taliban goes into cars and pretends to drive them, humming 'Vrrrooooom!' to himself. Take out his advisors. They are the ones who run things. Don't shoot the nuts. Shoot the brains. Freegards....
