Latest underwear bomber was a double agent
Associated Press writes that the latest failure of al Qaeda to take down an aircraft headed for the US was actually foiled by the man they had sent to the airport with the ‘splodies in his underoos;
The would-be suicide bomber, the man al-Qaida entrusted with its latest device, actually was a double agent working with the CIA and Saudi intelligence agencies, officials said Tuesday. Instead of sneaking it onto a plane in his underwear, he delivered it to the U.S. government and handed al-Qaida its latest setback.
So, even though everyone is calling this an intelligence success, it’s still dumb luck. What if the terrorists had picked someone else to wear the drawers instead of this intrepid agent of ours?
And I guess another thing that we should be concerned about is how the AP found out, and wouldn’t making this public kind of ruin our chances at doing it again? And I’m pretty sure that AQ knows who this guy is, so isn’t his life in a little bit of danger?
In other words, I’m glad that I know, but I’m not so sure that you should know.

Follow the campaign needs. Some certain person has been forced to back track from his claims of personally taking out Osama. Now he needs something to show that his draconian Homeland Security Department and their zampolits are doing real work against America’s enemies, vice their normal suppression attempts of American citizens and civil rights.
As soon as I read the header, my first question was, “Where are we going to hide the guy now that someone can’t keep their mouth shut?”. It’s fascinating reading up on Sherman and seeing how much things stay the same despite how much things change. Sadly, like a few of his other comments, the idea that news from hell would beat breakfast if all the reporters were dead would probably be true too.
So, the guy is quite literally changing sides more often than he changes his underwear.
Just wonderful.
Tim, I agree, der Fuhrer Obama will take credit for this. That guy has”I” trouble.
In the newest instance of wow, the newsreaders on Fox this a.m. asked if the release of this info may have been politically driven. Only if the sun rises in the east, Fox.
North–at least they’re asking, which is more than the rest of the newsreaders on the other Obama Broadcast Outlets are doing.
No need to hide him. Probably already being served by the local Yemeni shawarma stands.
True, Sparky, the idea that either the WH or his campaign screwed the pooch by releasing what should not have been released on the Underoo Bomber, probably explains why Baracka suddenly “evolved” on gay marriage.
Nothing to see on the terror front, move along.
