So-called Victory in the War on Terror Really a Case of Mistaken Identity

Victory in the War on Terror or publicity stunt? You decide.

From The Times Online:

Captured Al-Qaeda kingpin is case of ‘mistaken identity’

Christina Lamb and Mohammad Shehzad Islamabad
THE capture of a supposed Al-Qaeda kingpin by Pakistani agents last week was hailed by President George W Bush as “a critical victory in the war on terror”. According to European intelligence experts, however, Abu Faraj al-Libbi was not the terrorists’ third in command, as claimed, but a middle-ranker derided by one source as “among the flotsam and jetsam” of the organisation.
