Will the 27th person in line to be the Al-Qaida Mastermind please stand up.

Okay, for those of you trying to keep score, it IS about the seventh time the Persian Gulf Mastermind of Al-Qaida has been captured (AP). Also, AQ's No.1 Money Man has been captured at least five times. Ed. finds this accounting perfectly plausible under the theory that every time we catch the No. 1 guy, the No. 2 guy gets promoted, and so on. This is going to continue until the US and its Allies begin working from the bottom, up. We have to go after the No. 27 guy in Al-Qaida, then No. 26. That way when we do nab No. 1, there won't be anyone left to take his place.
