British Forces Kill Leading Terrorist
By PATRICK QUINN, Associated Press Writer

"British forces shot and killed a leading al-Qaida terrorist Monday more than a year after he embarrassed the U.S. military by making an unprecedented escape from a maximum security military prison in Afghanistan, officials said."

"Al-Farouq and three other al-Qaida suspects escaped from Bagram, in central Afghanistan, in July 2005, but the Pentagon waited until November to confirm his escape. The delay upset Indonesia, which had arrested al-Farouq in 2002 and turned him over to the United States."


AND THEY DID IT WITHOUT USING OUR DOMESTIC WIRETAPS - AGAIN!!!!

thanks - together we will win this war on terror

I wouldn't expect Kal to EVER highlight anything we do that is good. He's all about blasting the United States. And how about that: al Al Qaeda terrorist escaping inside Afghanistan and going right to Iraq where he was killed. And you guys try to tell everybody that Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism or al Qaeda!!

Some people seem to think this is a contest. We are very much in this together. This guy was caught inside Iraq; not inside Britain. So why in the world would they have had to use any domestic wiretapping???

Yes JP5 you are right, some people do look at it as being a contenst and some even use it for demoestic political point scoring!

...could be so base as to criticise our government for illegally invading another country and embroiling us with a needless war and occupation?

is it a contest? Does the US realize they are in this contest and do the Brits? Last I checked we are working together. I guess something Kaladrew in her haste to hate the US failed to realize.

just who claimed that our domestic spying stopped the airplanes from taking off in England?

nice try.

Neocons are the ones keeping score.

The Brits have proven to be far better at stopping terrorism while we just increase it. The Brits beat us and Junior tries to take credit.

They've stopped a HUGE (and proven threat - not a FAKE attempt on a Los Angeles tower that Junior can't even pronounce) terrorism threat WITHOUT using domestic spying or torture - they infiltrated the group. And now they killed someone that Junior let escape WITHOUT domestic spying.

link on this "fake" attempt? I didn't think so. We've stopped several attacks, they have stopped several attacks. No amount of your left wing US hate mongering changes that.
