#2 I imagine that the al-Qaeda hierarchy chart and office phone list are very subject to change without notice.

#4 Not to throw sand in the gears, but what thug is not going to say he is in OBL's inner circle?

#5 The Turkish opinion is that he's the #5 but either way he seems to be a major player: the plastic surgery, C-4, cash, and the fact that he's in tight with Zark seems pretty clear at this point.

I expect the Turks are in close coordination with Mossad on this one, though they were apparently annoyed at the Israelis for issuing a public alert for fear that it would alert other Sakra flunkies they were trying to nab.

#6 Don't mean to create defensiveness with this. Isn't this the fellow who likes to drink rather than pray?

Everyone, it seems, is in tight with Zark. How many Lts have been captured or killed at this point? Money and C-4 is relatively fungible. Oh, and the Turks--enough said.
