#1 Nice when they are just blown up in place, but I'd like to see this guy at Guantanamo with a fresh haircut and shave and a frontpage mugshot broadcast worldwide...

#3 Momin Khan, the owner of a small goods transport company in South Waziristan, tells the USNWR that he will go to Baitullah, instead of local courts, to settle any legal issue because he is the law here.

If Momin can find Baitullah why cant the ISI/CIA????

#4 This guy is the new "#3". He'll either get whacked by a Predator or handed over during a visit by a CENTCOM official.

#5 Totally off topic, well kinda, but in that Fred Barnes article the other day of How Bush Decided on the Surge, he mentions that in Cheney's office is a piece of the house that Zarqawi was in when he was blown up! Bet some SF guys had fun handing that to him!

Hopefully, he'll get a few more "memorials" in the next 10 months!

#7 Understandably camera-shy. The leader of the Northern Alliance in A-stan was taken out by a booby-trapped camera just befor 9/11.. a Taliban op. This guy probably read the brief.

#8 NEWSMAX > DE BORCHGRAVE - TALIBAN SEEKS TO DEMORALIZE NATO ALLIES.

Bullet Points:
* Mehsud > Islamies fear the US dropping a nuclear bomb on Muslims, DO NOT FEAR ANY APKI BOMB.
* Pakistan regulars now believe = are convinced Mushey takes and obeys orders from the USA = Infidel Muslim-killing USA.
* Islmaists hold sway in TWO of PAKI FOUR PROVINCES.
