no linkie...but there is eight less cells at GITMO that need used.
The Times obtained the names of all eight senior Al-Qaeda members confirmed killed by U.S. missile strikes in the tribal region in the past six months. The list, which has not been published before, is as follows:
•Khalid Habib, a veteran combat leader and operations chief involved with plots to attack the West. He was a deputy to Shaikh Saiid al-Masri, Al-Qaeda’s No. 3 leader.
•Rashid Rauf, who was accused of planning to send terrorist operatives with homemade liquid bombs onto several airliners flying from Britain to the United States and Canada in 2006. British police discovered the plot before it could be carried out.
•Abu Khabab al-Masri, Al-Qaeda’s most seasoned explosives expert and trainer. U.S. authorities said he was responsible for attempts to obtain chemical and biological weapons.
•Abdallah Azzam, a senior aide to al-Masri, who founded a charity front based in Pakistan called Maktab al-Khidamat, or “services office.â€
•Abu al-Hassan al-Rimi, a leader of cross-border operations against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan.
•Abu Sulaiman al-Jaziri, a senior external operations planner and facilitator for Al-Qaeda.
•Abu Jihad al-Masri, Al-Qaeda’s senior operational planner and propagandist.
•Usama al-Kini, who was accused of planning the Marriott hotel bombing [in Islamabad]. Al-Kini was on the FBI’s terrorist most wanted list.

"U.S. strikes against terrorist suspects in Pakistan's tribal region have become more accurate in the past few months, leading to the confirmed deaths of eight senior al Qaeda leaders and a decrease in civilian casualties that have roiled U.S.-Pakistani relations, The Washington Times has learned.
Among those killed was the mastermind of a 2006 plot to detonate liquid explosives aboard planes flying across the Atlantic and the man thought to have planned the Sept. 20 bombing of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, that killed 53 people, including two members of the U.S. military.
"The strikes have become increasingly accurate," a senior Pakistani official told The Times on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the subject. The official, who has worked closely with U.S. authorities, also said fighting was escalating between the foreign militants and members of native Pakistani tribes in the area along the Afghan border. As a result, he said, Arab al Qaeda members "are increasingly isolated." Washingtontimes (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/16/us-strikes-home-in-on-al-qaeda-kill-8-leaders/)

I don't understand gitmo in the first place really.
Other than an instrument to extract information from people captured that may be of use.
As far as I see it , the people in Gitmo were caught under arms , with no identifying marks, behind enemy lines, firing at US. They are entitled to nothing more than a .45ACP between the ears.

you are exactly right, but our raving moonbats don't want us to violate their "human rights". most of those ****ers have no more humanity than the goats they shag, and would behead any of us on camera given the opportunity, but we have to respect their "rights"
