    And? Torture (however you want to define it), because our military is full of sadistic bas s or, because it is a proven method for extracting actionable intelligence?

    Or, did your brain just stop after assuming he was being tortured for two weeks?

    Further, why would annoucing his capture two weeks ago preclude him from being tortured anyway? It's not like they would have told us where he was being held and under what conditions.

    Sorry, I like my presumption better. I think it makes more sense.
    get off of your high horse, dude. I was making a joke.

    Because you had no answer.

    So, all joking aside, why would they wait two weeks to reveal his capture?

    I don't know, which is why I was asking.

    I apologize, I mistook your snark on my post as meaning you had a more plausible explanation.

    In the meantime, over at YouTube, there a video of yet another former member of a terrorist organizations admitting the existence of an al Qaeda threat.

    For a guy who’s four months shy of 90 and has had a long night at the office, he really doesn’t do all that badly. Truth be told, he’s no more incoherent than I am after ten beers. Via BTN, which recommends paying attention to the expression on Bob Casey’s (the presiding senator’s) face just before and after the Kleagle speaks.

    Between Byrdie and Strom Thurmond, it may be time to start thinking about mandatory retirement ages. Like, say, 85 or so.

    The entertainment begins in earnest about two minutes in...enjoy!

    As Dennis Miller said of this former member of a terrorist organization, "If you saw your grandpa going on like this, the moment he left the room you'd turn to your family and say, 'Hey! What the are we going to do about grandpa? Is anyone keeping an eye on him? Do we know he's not eating his feces?'"

    (As an aside, when will we be able to embed YouTube [and other source] videos here, like can be done in other forums? And, if we already can, would someone explain to me how it's done here. Thanks.)

    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A senior operative for al Qaeda in Iraq who was caught this month has told his U.S. military interrogators a prominent al Qaeda-led group is just a front and its leader fic ious, a military spokesman said on Wednesday.

    Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner told a news conference that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq, which was purportedly set up last year, did not exist.


    The Islamic State of Iraq was established to try to put an Iraqi face on what is a foreign-driven network, Bergner said. The name Baghdadi means the person hails from the Iraqi capital.

    ....

    "In his words, the Islamic State of Iraq is a front organization that masks the foreign influence and leadership within al Qaeda in Iraq in an attempt to put an Iraqi face on the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq," Bergner said.

    ...

    "To make al-Baghdadi appear credible, al-Masri swore allegiance to al-Baghdadi and pledged to obey him, which is essentially pledging allegiance to himself since he knew Baghdadi was fic ious and a creation of his own," he said

    Well, I think General Petraeus is real and the Multination Forces he's leading are real and al Qaeda is real.

    Beyond that, what's your point?

    So, al Qaeda used an old PLO ploy and started making up names by which to call themselves. It doesn't really change things other than to show what a bunch of idiot dupes the Mainstream Media and Democrats are.
