Can't Anyone Recall?(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(EDITORIALS)(Editorial)
No, Osama bin Laden is not in custody. But Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who planned and organized the 9-11 attacks, is. Can someone give Bush credit for capturing the monster responsible for that dark day?
Mohammed was arrested in March 2003 by Pakistani police. The U.S. didn't take him directly, but the alliance Bush formed with Pakistan leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf allowed it to happen. So much for unilateralism.
(This relationship has yielded another arrest: An African wanted in the 1998 al-Qaida bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya was recently captured in central Pakistan.)
