Indeed, Yay, Yay, Yay!

So, does this mean that we can put the old saw about Iraq distracting us
from the War on Terror to rest?

Suspected 9/11 Mastermind Caught

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of Sept. 11, 2001 terror
attacks in the United States, was arrested Saturday in Pakistan, a senior
Pakistan government source told The Associated Press.
Mohammed, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, was among three people
arrested in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, the
official said.

U.S. officials regard Mohammed as a key al-Qaida lieutenant and organizer of
the terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World
Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing more than 3,000
people.

Mohammed, 37, has not been charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, but he has been
charged in a 1995 terror plot. He is one of the FBI's most-wanted terror
suspects, and the U.S. government is offering up to $25 million for
information leading to his capture.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11
attacks, will be extradited to the United States, Pakistan said after his
arrest on Saturday.

"Right now, I can't say whether Mohammed will be moved tomorrow or next
week," Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad told Reuters. "It could be
next week, it could be tomorrow."

A senior U.S. official in Washington described the capture during a raid in
Pakistan early on Saturday as "extraordinarily significant" because he was
critical to planning future assaults on the United States.

"He's the senior-most al Qaeda guy to be captured yet," the official told
Reuters.

"He was critical to not only the planning for the September 11, 2001,
attacks but also is central to the planning for future attacks," he said.

My love and I, we escaped, we left no trace
For they had raped both body and soul ...
The taste was much too hard to swallow,
We ran naked through the cold ...
Above our heads, in fiery red,
The clouds, they bled like open wounds across the sky ...
The wings of many nations, falling, burning, turning,
Trying oh, so hard to die ...
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's Panic in the World ...
