Faisal,

I suspect there is a purpose to the releasing of information. The CNN piece said that they had captured this guys chief associate last December. I would guess that they caught this guy a month or two ago, have all the information they can get out of him, and now want to see who scatters, and where they go. This very igh profile release of information is more than cheerleading, it is being done to achieve some effect.

And, unless this guy was travelling at night, how hard could it be to spot him?

They may have caught him whenever, doesn’t matter. What I am saying is, his is an unknown name. Whats to say he is just a two-bit arab, caught of the streets and then beaten like a pulp and now paraded as the third highest ranking Al-Qaida person in the world. If he was such a high-ranking person, where was his name in the Most Wanted List before his capture?

To be fair, may be he was in one of those lists, I don’t know… as I don’t follow their shenigans all too closely. The only three names we hear again and again are Osama Bin Laden, Al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. Tell me when they capture any of them.
