How mobile phones and an £18m bribe trapped 9/11 mastermind
by flynn23 at 1:33 pm EST, Mar 11, 2003

] Reporters watched a video that appeared to show Pakistani
] agents in bullet-proof vests scaling the wall of
] Mohammed's building, then handcuffing him and placing a
] black hood over his head.

okay, can you say stupid? Not only are we beating our chest about this takedown, but we're also giving the 'enemy' too much information about what we are capable of. Is not the reason why we haven't captured Bin Laden because we revealed that we had a lock on his satellite phone and he stopped using it? Does it make sense for both the Pakistani's and the US to reveal detailed information, including *video* of how our intelligence forces work?

Why is it that the press can see this stuff but we're still waiting on the 'conclusive evidence' that points to Iraq's WMD?

That's like when the Navy posts things on their webpage that I need to be briefed for. I need to get briefed before I can go anywhere NEAR one of the subs we're building, but all the 'secret' information is already up on the Navy's web page. The gov't is just not smart about keeping things quiet. It's all about bragging rights.

There are also some other interesting links at the bottom of the page, which trace connections between the hijackers and other members of Al Qaeda.
