Guess who the FBI's #1 most wanted terrorist is.

[JohnnyRingo]

Must be Osama right? Maybe Zarqawi ?
Nope ....It's this guy:


ISNILON TOTONI HAPILON

Why don't we see this man's face on TV?
Why aren't The Philippines the "Central Front" For The War On Terror?
Why is he able to travel to Saudi Arabia?

I've never heard of his cel: the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), though I thought I saw a jazz band by that name about 15 years ago at The Odean in Cleveland. Maybe that was Amu.
Anyway...they certainly prove threatening, well funded, and growing fast:

Even though I'm sure he's a major threat to world freedom, with that $5mil bounty on his head, there must be a reason why we never hear of this major player.
I thought of just a few:

The FBI shuffles the list around to keep the agents on their toes
News anchors are still learning to pronounce the Arab names
He doesn't look "terror" enough without a towel on his head
He never met Donald Rumsfeld
Not enough oil in the Philippines

1. I was wrong. I guessed 'John Negroponte.'

[Jim Sagle]

11. And here I was thinking, "Keith Olbermann."

[saltpoint]

17. !

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. I don't think so

I've seen the Number One Most Wanted Terrorist(s):

[uppityperson]

3. they both get my vote.nt

[saltpoint]

5. Either of the scoundrels in that photo would work for me. OLL.

A pointless and deceptive assault on a sovereign nation sure sounds like terrorism to me.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

7. Well, keep in mind

that Cheney's got his hand up Fuckface's ass, manipulating him like Lamb Chop.

[saltpoint]

9. Any dark applications you ascribe to Dick Cheney won't get any

challenge from me.

If anything, I think we're too easy on him on DU.

An absolute human scowl walking around the corridors of power.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

12. You know what?

I don't think any of us out here has any idea of the depth of his depravity and deceptions and murderous aggression, all in the interests of - I'm serious - enriching his Halliburton fucking cronies.

You see his deferred compensation from that company for this past year? WHAT FUCKING SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT HAS THE UTTER GALL TO DO THAT?

It couldn't have been deferred for another three years?

How utterly, utterly, utterly craven and arrogant, and the COCKSUCKER GETS AWAY WITH IT!

OK, I just typed "cocksucker" in caps. I'm gonna be quiet now.

[saltpoint]

14. Yeah, you know, you don't want to call him a cocksucker because

that would imply that at the very least he is performing a useful service.

Dick Cheney never seems to do anything to serve others or work toward the greater good.

Yes I did see the fat wad of fascism collect his fat wad of cash. A dirty deal by a dirty rat.

On the plus side, Patrick Fitzgerald is not a fool and the notes he has on these boys I betcha are pretty thorough. You would know better than most of us, but it at least seems as if Cheney is under growing pressure to either resign, get indicted, or blow his brains out.

I'm flexible on which of the three comes to pass.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Wow! Both the #1 and #2 terrorists in the same location - Great job, OLL

[OldLeftieLawyer]

8. I confess

www.images.google.com

Don't leave home without this site.

[Amonester]

21. To me, they both R "Number One Most Wanted Terrorist$." - n/t

:thumbsup:

[reprehensor]

4. Agent "Totoni" is being cashiered.

Loose lips or he just figured out that's he's a Patsy.

Can't have that.

[quaoar]

10. At least the guy is 'likable' and 'confident'

Look -- a smiling terrorist:

[JohnnyRingo]

15. Hahaha ....You'd think Hollywood would jump on this

Good looking, winning personality, and lots of explosions.
Is Jet Lee doing anything these days?

[me b zola]

13. Whadda ya know, dumbya didn't lie abot something!

He said he didn't spend his time thinking about OBL, and I guess the most wanted terrorist list proves it.

[magellan]

16. Have you seen OBL's listing?

Mentions not one word about 9/11.

[JohnnyRingo]

18. Isn't that odd?

This is all they got on him?

Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.

And this part:
"Should Be Considered Armed And Dangerous"

If I see Bin Laden at the DMV, I'll come back tomorrow

[leftofthedial]

19. outside of public speeches, I don't think the bush gang

even pretends that "al Qaeda" really even exists.

[Zorro]

20. Don't Minimize Abu Sayyaf

They are a very dangerous terrorist group.

You may not be familiar with them, but they are a very nasty bunch.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. Indeed....that's my point

A small cell of 200-300 with up to 2000 new members last year.
they deal in hostages for multi-million dollar pay offs.
Striking the continental US would be a real feather in their sub-cultural hat.

But since Buxh and Fox News wants to own Iraq so bad, this is another major threat to this nation's security that has to be sidelined to a mere "wanted poster" down at the post office.

Apparently, they don't even want to talk about them.
I'm surprised you heard of them. I assume it was on the 'nets somewhere.

[Amonester]

22. That's Interpol's "Job."

http://www.interpol.int/public/icpo/default.asp

Their "Job" is to bust all international criminals, and that includes the BFEE mob.

[understandinglife]

24. Actually, it's George W Bush and they've got him under surveillance.

Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.
