#1 Well Goooolly. {throws hands in air} looks like they got away again. Jeesh.

Somebody needs to sit down and figure out HOW these guys are getting away in these situations and figure out a way to prevent it. How about you get some guys with common sense instead of credentials - apparently the latter don't have the former.

If it's bribes - then find a way to have them bribe the wrong fellow, or find a way to kill those who accept the bribes, even after the fact, and make it public, and make sure their families don't get the money. Money is no good to a dead man. Maybe we have a mole inside the highest levels, giving the info away. Maybe they can penetrate our communications. Whatever it is, there certainly should be enough of a pattern available by now to have a pretty damn good idea.

Instead of walking away empty handed next time, how about putting someone with some can-do on this and make sure it doesn't happen again. And whoever you get, make sure it's not from the same pool you are already working from.

sad.

#2 They get away because they're getting tips from Jack Bauer's daughter. Usually they call Mullah Omar on aq cell phone and he creates a diversion.
