#1 Get a few Russian advisers - they will tell you how they dealt with Maskhadov's and Basayev's families in Chechnya (make a Google search about ZACHISTKA).

As for Al-Zarqawis - they live, and very well, in Zarqa, in Northern Jordan. Within a last few months they became the richest in the town.

PS. In Romania there is a school of impaling - this can help as well.

And it hasn't brought them any stability in the area. Do you actually bother _reading_ the news from the Caucasus that gets posted here?

#3 Only a week or so back there was general praise and rejoicing among Jordanians for the terror attacks of Zarqawi on Iraqi civilians and Americans. A little bite to the hand in your own backyard from the dog you have been feeding makes quite a difference.

#5 Seems if Z-man's family are "rich", maybe the taxman should pay a visit.

#8 a) Zarq has been trying to bring down Abdallah's government for years. This isn't new - and the Jordanian security service has been keeping tabs on Zarq's family as well. See today's post about them vs. Mossad. (Scheuer's claims may be overstated on this one as they are on other issues, but he's not the only person from whom I've heard that the Jordanian intelligence service has its act together.)

b) The King has been very very helpful wrt Iraq. Logistics supplies through his country, intel info by his native Arabic speakers, hosting a lot of the reconstruction busines ....

c) He also has the largest contingent of Palestinians in the world - which means moving against them, and against Zarq's family openly, is a difficult move unless they are stupid enough to give him an occasion for doing so that the masses can accept.

Zarq was, of course, that stupid: not only booming in ways that killed a bunch of Jordanians, but doing it with people from outside the country, too.

Now that Jordanian intel service can be unleashed again and will get some help from locals because they are hunting "others".

#9 I heard the King on the radio today. He's very articulate and made Tim Russert look like a bitter fool. Russert came across as a paid spokesperson for the terrorist cause. His questions were downright rude and crude (in the sense of non-nuanced, not nasty) ...but in reality, they really weren't questions at all, but proclaimations of his opinions. And coincidentally the standard DNC talking points of the day.

The King on the other hand came across very, very well.

Hmmm....maybe it was Aaron Brown. I'm not really sure which one it was...nor do I care.

#10 "The King on the other hand came across very, very well."

He always does. But for good PR, no one in Jordan can hold a candle to Queen Rania. Yowza!

Russert was out of his league the moment he opened yis YAP! The blow-me-up Muzzies will drive Ab into the western camp even further. He's no one to mess with.
