Like so much of the press today

this story is essentially limited hangout. The overall impression it leaves, like the TIME editorial by Robert Baer, is that Al-Qaeda is a supremely powerful organization (it is not), and that the War on Terror is working because they have captured such a "mastermind".

I applaud the AP for its qualifying skepticism, but ultimately these stories continue to support the fantasy that Al-Qaeda is capable of orchestrating 9/11 without inside help, and that KSM is some kind of villain from a Bond movie.
