the redshirts of al qaeda

i can't believe they're going back to claiming they killed al qaeda's third in command. that whole scene is soooooooo bush administration. remember when the bushies announced #3's demise just about every other week?

it's never #1 or #2 (i.e. bin laden or zawahiri). we've already heard of them. #3 is always some dude who hasn't been in the news prior to the bragging about his death. it sounds high enough in the organization to be important, and yet not enough for anyone to really know whether he really matters. but if the #3 guy is so powerful, why do they all die as often as a star fleet security officer? i bet the smartest mujahideen ask not to be promoted higher than #4. no one ever kills them.
