Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, was arrested Saturday in Pakistan, a senior Pakistan government source told The Associated Press.

Mohammed, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, was among three people arrested in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, the official said

As Big Al once said: "Give me a pair of pliars and a blowtorch, and I can get anything from anybody."

I believe Marcellus Wallace was the man who made the concept of pliars and a blowtorch well known.

The FBI participated with the Pakistani ISI intelligence agents - with the capture of this guy.

Hopefully we got some good intell as well.

Anyone see ABC's 'Frontline ' show last week? Real good stories on how we go about getting HUMINT in the Middle East. This guy's house could be the 'mother load.'

[anoldafvet]

Yeah, sure, and in about eight weeks the Easter Bunny comes.

[mware]

Just reported he is being extradited to the USA>

[Hoverbug]

Per Fox News just now, Rueters says he's being extradited from Pakistan to U.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lunatic Fringe]

FOX just announced he will be EXTRADITED to the United States!

[mware]

I wonder how long before Ramsey Clark gets involved and defends him.

Clark never met a terrorist he didnt want to defend.

[sweetliberty]

Okay; I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but they just said on Fox that they are going to extradite him to the U.S. Call me naive, but why the h*ll are they bringing this *ssh*l* here where our "civil rights" lawyers will have access to his sorry, worthless *ss? If there was ever one who would better be handled by military tribunal, it certainly seems this is it. I can just see the anti-war terrorist sympathizers now, running to his defense.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Let's see. Who was it that said we were going to smoke 'em out of their holes, get 'em running?

A very heroic president who keeps his cool and does his job under the most intense pressure and criticism.

A true statesman in the mold of Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt and even Abe Lincoln!

George W Bush

[swheats]

Oh ye of little faith. Time will tell. Who knew we'd be celebrating the catch of the mastermind behind many of the attacks on America today?

[sweetliberty]

"When's the execution?"

I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were you, since they are bringing him to the U.S.

[texasbluebell]

Perhaps we should stab him with 3,000 needles when he receives his lethal injection.

And it couldn't happen soon enough, but he better sing like a canary for a while first. Oh, I hope they can wrench ObL's whereabouts out of him.

[Dr.Deth]

Tim to fry this skunk in pigfat. Fire up that Weber grill!

[sweetliberty]

"I want to hear the Dems on this one!"

Here's a preview:

"His civil rights are being denied."

"He is a victim of racial profiling."

He is being denied access to a religiosly appropriate diet."

"He can't get a fair trial."

"He is a victim of an impoverished country because of the oppression of U.S. imperialism."

I'm sure you can add a few of your own.

[swheats]

I wonder if Al-Arian, Florida University professor, singing like a bird now to get assistance from the U.S.

[BossLady]

Interesting this guy gets caught shortly after the 'professor' gets the cuff!

[Loyalist]

Don't eat with your hands, son! Use the entrenching tools!
