This is crazy if it's true. What the hell is going on over there? Is anyone running the shop?

Zarqawi successor 'in Egypt jail'

Al-Muhajir is on the most wanted list of the Iraqi government

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the purported successor of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, is in an Egyptian prison and not Iraq, a lawyer has claimed.

Egyptian newspaper Al-Masri al-Yawm has quoted Mamduh Ismail as saying he met al-Muhajir, also known as Sharif Hazaa, or Abu Ayub al-Masri, in Tura prison in Cairo, where he has been held for seven years.

"Sharif Hazaa [al-Muhajir] is in Tura prison, and I met him two days ago while I was visiting some of my clients," Ismail, a lawyer known for defending Islamist groups, told the newspaper.

Al-Muhajir is on the "most wanted" list issued by the Iraqi government last week. The US military in Iraq has put a $5million price on his head.

The US army media centre in Iraq said: "We cannot comment on the news that ... al-Masri is in an Egyptian prison and not in Iraq, we have to clarify that from the Egyptian government."

The US military had announced after the death of al-Zarqawi that al-Masri had been appointed the leader of al-Qaeda's organisation in Iraq.

The military said al-Masri was born and brought up in Egypt. He then went to Afghanistan, where he trained in bomb-making before going to Iraq in 2002.

I always thought the term "intelligence" was a very cruel and subconscious joke , played on us through our own "creative" language. Much like the term, Ministry of Information or even the new and vicious terminology of the administration -- Homeland Security (sounds like a min. wage outfit, nightwatchmen reading the newspaper and smiling at the cleaning ladies while the company men cash the cheques and make the profit.......

I do believe on a deep level, those in power KNOW. It is just that as it filters through, it is all co-opted , cleansed, adjusted, sanitized for any extraneous value that it loses all bearing and relation to TRUTH.

So what you get is the above. The guy below deck knows, yet by the time it gets to the captain, the ship is bombing a hospital.

Military intelligence has long served as a classic oxymoron.
