"A New Year's CIA strike in northern Pakistan killed two top al-Qaeda terrorists long sought by the United States, including the man believed to be behind September's deadly suicide bombing at a Marriott hotel in the Pakistani capital, U.S. counterterrorism officials told The Washingon Post today."

The CIA is better than William Tell. They never miss. 100% accurate. One shot, two or three kills. Or maybe 10 or 19 kills, and all of them militants hellbent on havoc.

You have to admire them.

And they do that in spite of "militants" using weddings, funerals and attending school as organizational rallies, where they distribute drug profits and buy and sell arms. With remarkable courage the CIA does not let those transparent covers work. Whenever two or more of them assemble you can know they are up to no good. Some stomach would get queasy at bombing funerals or weddings, but our people are made of sterner stuff.

I say "Hooray for the CIA". I feel safer.

Arf (A little thick there, Bow. Simply offering encouragement. The CIA does have a strategy - kill enough innocents, and all that's left are people who hate the US. Damnedest thing!)
