The NYT has a long article in the Saturday/Sunday on-line edition of 21-June allegedly detailing how U.S. agents captured Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, among others. The article describes the torture vs. talking interrogation options and the information collection and analysis process leading to capturing these guys; while understanding that there are few revealed sources for the article, it is educational. I am reminded how bin Laden was communicating regularly by cell phone (and being tracked by spy agencies) until he learned how this mode was an open book to the snoopers.

Re-starting this blog
In Blogging on 20-Jun-2008 at 8:07 pmWe are reviving our attention to this on-line document; we have changed the layout theme and loaded a nice image of mine (a heron flying over the Susquehanna River near the Conowingo Dam from 2006).
With the dearth of any TV shows of value (where is “Monk” or “The Closer” when you need them?), we need something to keep us awake: the good news is a Red Sox team that has won more games so far this season than anyone else and a Presidential election cycle which promises to be the most entertaining in a long while.
