The Taliban's top military commander has been arrested in a joint CIA-Pakistani operation in Pakistan in a major victory against the insurgents as U.S. troops push into their heartland in southern Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the group's No. 2 leader behind Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar and a close associate of Osama bin Laden, was captured in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi, two Pakistani intelligence officers and a senior U.S. official said.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release such sensitive information.

1. Get the whole set!!

#254 in a continuing series!!
This reminds me all too well of the almost daily #2 captures of al-qaeda guys in Iraq.
So now we'll get almost daily notices of #2 Taliban guys captured in Afghanistan.

If the propaganda machine wants my full attention, they can announce the immediate end of hostilites along the immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces. I've had quite enough, thank you.
