NY Times Blew Cover of Key Counterterror Agent

An al Qaida computer expert who was secretly arrested on July 18 and has since been providing critical intelligence on the terror group's plans for coming attacks on the West was rendered useless this week when he was outed by the New York Times.

Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, described by U.S. intelligence as "a one man al Qaida communications hub," was using the Internet to contact and identify al Qaida operatives throughout the world so they could be tracked and arrested by British and U.S. authorities.

"After his capture he admitted being an al Qaeda member and agreed to send e-mails to his contacts," a Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters. "He sent encoded e-mails and received encoded replies. He's a great hacker and even the U.S. agents said he was a computer whiz."
Khan was the source for reports that al Qaida was planning attacks on financial institutions in New York, Newark and Washington, D.C., spurring Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge to raise the national alert status to orange last Sunday.

But the undercover operative's value as a critical intelligence asset went up in smoke on Monday, when the New York Times named the previously unidentified Khan, calling him "a kind of clearinghouse of Qaida communications" and "a vital source of information" on terrorist operations.

Once Khan was outed, British authorities scrambled to round up al Qaida suspects he had identified before they were able to go underground.

"By exposing the only deep mole we've ever had within al Qaida, it ruined the chance to capture dozens if not hundreds more," former Justice Department prosecutor John Loftus told Fox News on Saturday.

O wait,........ they were thinking about selling papers and making money instead of helping defeat people that are killing innocent people....

that's okay, we all know the masses are asses, including the New York Slimes, but give me some time with that guy and he'd be telling us everything he knows. Word was probably already out in reality. I don't give the news media all that much credit for really being on top of the game anyway.

It wouldn't be legal in this country, so ship him just outside the offshore limits on a private boat and gimme a couple of electrodes and a glass of salt water.

"hello, good morning sir, I'm here for our morning discussion, do you have anything you want to tell me....................oh, you say not now.........well that's okay......"

splash, BzzzzZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

(screams) (a bit of smoke in the air) (the smell of singed armpit hair)

"that's your nice reward for not talking. I'll be back in ten short minutes to check on you again"

"ooops, I lied, I'm baaaaack in three minutes, hey, where's my salt water"

Ya know, if you just sit there and turn up the voltage, sipping on tea, and eating cookies, sooner or later they will break, no matter how tough they think they are. I'm sure they're going to cook this guy down into a reduction sauce real soon. Modern chemistry is going to loosen up that tongue too.
