Sorry to create a new thread on this but I'm just so SICKENED by the way this administration is politicizing the true war on terror. The man that Pakistan announced TODAY they had captured a few days ago had a $25 MILLION dollar reward on his head.
This was CLEARLY timed, successfully or not, to take attention away from the convention. But more than that, it PROVES that the Bush* administration is using politics instead of tenacity in safeguarding our country.
WHO among us will stand up to these THUGS?

What's more, this source claims that Bush administration officials have told their Pakistani counterparts they have a date in mind for announcing this achievement: "The last ten days of July deadline has been given repeatedly by visitors to Islamabad and during meetings in Washington." Says McCormack: "I'm aware of no such comment." But according to this ISI official,
a White House aide told ul-Haq last spring that "it would be best if the arrest or killing of HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July"--the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Boston."And voila:
