Another win for the good guys! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17404331/BREAKING NEWS Updated: 57 minutes ago ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani security forces have captured a high-ranking Taliban leader in the southwestern city of Quetta, a senior Pakistani security official and Taliban sources said on Thursday. The capture of Mullah Obaidullah Akhund marked the first time Pakistan had arrested a senior leader of the Islamist militia since it was driven from power in Afghanistan in 2001, and thousands of its fighters fled into Pakistan. The security official, who requested anonymity, and the Taliban sources, said Akhund, the third most senior member of the Taliban's 10-member leadership council, was arrested late on Monday, hours after a surprise visit to Pakistan by U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney. The head of the Interior Ministry's Crisis Management Unit, retired Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, denied Akhund had been detained when asked by Reuters. This breaking news story will be updated.

Do they have waterproof "prayer rugs" for these occassions...maybe spandex turbans also.
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, .

I thought it was 72.
This capture has a peculiar-ness to it. It coincides closely with Dick Cheney's visit to Afghanistan.

Anyway, you know how the song goes, "Save A Quail, Shoot A Lawyer", or something like that. Dick Cheney Costume includes: Jumpsuit, Vest, Target and Mask. (Rifle sold separately)." http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/products/ds10503.html

They got it wrong in the translation. They are going to get 72 Virginians, and they'll all have their rifles.

Of course, they capture lots of low to mid-level people but unless they are "high ranking" the news won't break away from 24 hour coverage of Anna Nicole's funeral to show it.
