Knock, knock, knocking on Bin Laden's door

Well, by now, you've all probably heard that al-Quaeda's #3 man has been captured in Pakistan. And wonder of wonders, he was caught by the Pakistani security forces.

I wouldn't celebrate just yet.

The reason why the Pakistanis were so happy to cooperate was that this man, Abu Farraj al-Libbi, has made or planned at least three attempts on the life of Pakistani President Musharef.

I wouldn't put much stock in whether the Pakistani secret police will be nearly as forthcoming in tracking down the #2 man or Bin Laden himself since they were instrumental in the funding and formation of the Taliban, which in case anyone has forgotten had very close relationships with those self-same Pakistani security forces.

Its a big case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend...unless he is an enemy as well.
