Timing is Everything

This month's New Republic contained a story that high-ranking intelligence officers in Pakistan had reported that, after two years of ignoring the issue, the Bush administration had begun to put enormous pressure on them to capture a high value al Qaeda target - and that they were adamant that such a capture should take place so that it could be announced during the period between July 27 and 29 (i.e. the Democratic National Convention).

Surprise, Surprise! It seems their dreams came true! I mean, how lucky can you get!

I just can't stay cynical enough to keep up with these people.
