Red on Red: Al Jazeera Leaked Location of Al Qaeda Bigs?

Interesting:

Ron Suskind, author of The One Percent Doctrine, told CNN that information about the hiding places of alleged al-Qaida figures, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, obtained by Aljazeera in 2002, was leaked to Qatari officials.

Suskind said the information was communicated to the Emir of Qatar, who communicated it to US officials.

Aljazeera described Suskind's claim as ridiculous and baseless.

Too much here to have any opinions. Not happy that this has been leaked, assuming it's true. If there are moles in Al Jazeera willing to give up the locations of Al Qaeda officials, I'd prefer that be kept secret.

But KSM and RBaS were arrested a long, long time ago. If Qatar was able to lean on Al Jazeera to get the information, it was only able to do so in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. It doesn't look like Al Jazeera has done anything for us lately.

So... gee, hope Al Qaeda doesn't get all steamed at Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is such a pro-Al Qaeda outfit that, on the whole, I can't say I'd cry very much were they to find themselves on the wrong side of the people they cheerlead for.

Lovely tv station you have here, Colonel. Would be a shame if anything were to 'appen to it.
