Sunday: from SO'W's By-Now-You've-Heard Department: No.2 al-Qaida Leader in Iraq Arrested north of Baghdad a few days ago "along with another group and a few of his aides and followers."
This coup for the GOP, coming just in time for November US elections, means that al-Qaida is now suffering from a "serious leadership crisis."
And they're not the only ones.
Remember November.

From Albert Brooks' character in the 1987 film Broadcast News (Twentieth Century Fox):
AARON ALTMAN: What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing ... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance ... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women. #
There are those who believe the devil has a physical headquarters on earth and its name begins with L...a vast and ancient city much in the news these days...and very active in the terroism department. Perhaps a re-reading of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters would profit, for they hit the mark on this subject, don't they?
More later...
