Correction

A week or so ago, I noted US officials crowing about the air strike in Pakistan allegedly killing top terror mastermind Abu Khabab al Masri. They released his picture, which, to me, bore some resemblence to Rosey Grier.

My apologies: it wasn't...and, upon further review, the photo in question doesn't really look all that much like Mr. Grier after all.

Turns out, though, the photo isn't Abu Khabab al Masri either--it's Abu Hamsa al Masri. He's already in custody and on trial in England:

Some days it all starts to make sense. For a year and a half now the U.S. government has been asking for help finding a dangerous al Qaeda operative. Why hadn't the CIA found him? Perhaps because they were using the photo of the wrong man had something to do with it.

If they don't even know who the enemy is, how on earth can they claim to know what the hell they're doing?
