From the Daily Kos

Every few weeks, the Bush administration trumpets the killing or capturing of another #2 person in the Al Qaida operation. Bush did it again Wednesday morning.

Except that they can't all be the #2 person, and media people are finally starting to realize that such claims are simply lies. Better late than never.

    BBC World pointed out that there was no evidence to suggest he was Al Quaida #2, just a lieutenant.

    flimsy sanity, ah! I'm relieved...I had begun to think I had had a succession of "senior moments"!

    We're really entering "the boy who cried 'wolf'" territory on this point, aren't we?

    There's a great cartoon in today's NY Times showing a vast number of #2s in the Al Qaeda org chart
