"Authorities know the name of the pilot, who is said to have entered Canada last week, but declined to disclose it, the Times reported."

I don't understand all this won't disclose stuff. If this guy is a bad&*@, and we know who he is and what he looks like -- and our aim is to catch him -- then, why in the world isn't his face and name on all the TV programs, on the front page of the newspapers and on wanted posters in the Post Office.

All this secrecy is no way to catch the bad guys. The other day, I think it was Ashcroft who lauded the "citizen-soldiers" of this country, this is no way to expect citiizens to be alert.

We didn't see much of Ramzi al Shibh's photo until AFTER he was captured.

We're not seeing photo's of the two NY suspects who we believe to be in Yemen now.

This is stupid and I'm getting damn tired of it.

You were out the day they taught dis-information 101.

Maybe because they don't want these guys spooked. Let's assume I was wanted by the Feds and they posted my picture all over the place. I'd go into hiding, move around at night etc., making it more difficult to catch. Without their pictures going up, they may not even know we're onto them. Plus, like another poster pointed out, it helps to track them first and try to get intel on others in the cell or other cells.
