Big Government Reports That Mullah Omar Was Captured

Big Government's Brad Thor is reporting that Mullah Omar was captured by Pakistani officials. In keeping with the tradition of the Obama administration, he was read his Miranda rights and taken to a jail in Yonkers. Okay, I made that last sentence up. But tell me you didn't buy into it.

Through key intelligence sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan, I have just learned that reclusive Taliban leader and top Osama bin Laden ally, Mullah Omar has been taken into custody...

At the end of March, US Military Intelligence was informed by US operatives working in the Af/Pak theater on behalf of the D.O.D. that Omar had been detained by Pakistani authorities. One would assume that this would be passed up the chain and that the Secretary of Defense would have been alerted immediately. From what I am hearing, that may not have been the case.

When this explosive information was quietly confirmed to United States Intelligence ten days ago by Pakistani authorities, it appeared to take the Defense Department by surprise. No one, though, is going to be more surprised than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It seems even with confirmation from the Pakistanis themselves, she was never brought up to speed.

It figures. It would be more of a surprise if the Pakistanis hadn't treated the administration like a bunch of clueless n00bz.
