  •  Now I'm really confused (none / 0)

    I just saw "breaking news" on CNN during Wolf's show about the capture of an Al-Zarqawi aide.  But the picture they showed looked the same as the one I saw with the last capture.  Can someone clarify?

    •  Wolf covered both stories (none / 0)

      Former CIA chief John McGlaughlin said that al-Libbi WAS a big target. I'm guessing al-Libbi is a big target as it relates to US-Pakistani relations but not big as it relates to Bin Laden.

      McGlaughlin linked al-Libbi to the captured plans of US financial institutions (banks for the concise) that raised such a stink during the Preznitdential Election. I'm guessing it's much ado about nothing and a planned distraction from the ongoing bad news out of Iraq.

      Never forget - Bush let Zarqawi go to help make the case FOR war in Iraq - the US military wanted to take out Zarqawi and Bush and Condi said no.

      •  Thanks for the information (none / 0)

        Thanks for taking the time to clarify this.  The names begin to sound the same, and sometimes they have aliases (this one is also called Abu Abbas which has to be pretty common!) and the picture they displayed for this person really looked similar to the last one I saw.  I think I've got it now.  And no, I won't forget.  And I agree with you fully on the fact that it is likely to be a carefully timed distration.  Just trying to get my misinformation straight.  Thanks again.
