Have we seen the last "We got the #2 guy" headlines now?

[Sydnie]

If Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has confessed to everything that we would have blamed on Osama, that would make him the number 1 guy now, wouldn't it? That means that Osama is dropped down to the number 2 slot and well, we all know we will never catch him, right?

Boggles the mind.

1. That's A Pretty Funny Concept Actually.

Didn't know what your premise was gonna be when I clicked on the thread, but got a kick out of what I found. Sad at the same time though; huh.

KARACHI - Ever since the frenzied shootout last month on September 11 in Karachi there have been doubts over whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaeda's military committee, died in the police raid on his apartment.

Certainly, another senior al-Qaeda figure, Ramzi Binalshibh, widely attributed as being the coordinator of the September 11 attacks on the United States a year earlier, was taken alive and handed over to the US. The latest information is that he is on a US warship somewhere in the Gulf.

Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in whose hands they remain.

Sources close to Pakistani intelligence agents say that the wife, under intense interrogation, has revealed information that is likely to lead to a new crackdown in Pakistan, as well as in Southeast Asia.

4. I wonder what in the world kinda deal they've made with Osama

[Cobalt-60]

5. With enough torture

I'm sure they could get him to confess that he kidnapped the Lindberg Baby.
Not only am I not impressed, i am appalled that this valuable prisoner has been permanently ruined as a
source of useful intelligence.
I immediately discard all information obtained under duress. Even if it is accurate, it is tainted.

6. Yes, but what about Zawahiri

or whatever his name is. Does that mean he's now Number 3? :shrug:

[Sydnie]

7. He and Osama can arm wrestle for it

I'm sure our media would respect the outcome either way. ;)

10. Zowahiri??...didn't we already kill him a couple of times already..

...when he was number two?

[Art_from_Ark]

12. That was al-Zaqiri

It's hard keeping all these bad guys with Z names straight

[marmar]

8. Not even close....

Al-qaeda has more No.2s than the Papermate factory.

[damntexdem]

9. Absolutely not! Any prisoner knows that there will always be ...

a new #2.

[Ilsa]

11. LOL I thought your headline was talking about Rove. nt
