Was he tortured? Who knows.

Will he be? If he ever gets caught by al-Queso, I think you know the answer to that.

Damn, why does ABC keep reporting the truth? Don't they realize that America doesn't want the truth -- we just want to know what the Repulican adminstration wants us to know..... Damn!

yeah, I want the truth too on alot of things the administration is doing but there is no good reason why I need to know the person's name who spilled the beans. the target is dead. good job military peoples.

Lee,

You are one disgusting SOB.

Do you not realize that this man will be killed if he ever gets into the hands of aQ?

Or that the odds of getting anybody *else* to rat on Al Qaeda have now dropped well into the single digits?

sign lee up for wanting to know the name and address and get a picture of every rape victim. every whistleblower. every mob informant. that's right, that's what people like this scum (that's you lee) want. c'mon bush, set up a website with the names, pictures, and addresses of everyone in the witness protection program, otherwise you're suppressing the truuuuuth!!!

Yeah, Lee, just like Woodward and Bernstein thought release the name and identity of Deep Throat because it was the peoples right to know.

Oh, wait, no they didn't. And Felt wouldn't have been killed, either.

This guy, if true, is going to be dead. And if not, I'm sure his family will suffer. And they just made it more difficult to get information from people.

Personally, I hope the US military is evacuating this guy and family ASAP somewhere safe.

Lee,
You are an absolute, total and complete moron. In fact, I doubt that it would ever be possible to be dumber. I can only assume that your BDS is so bad that you must automatically take the opposite position of whatever a conservative says, no matter how iditic your position is.

As stated, this disclosure only does two things. First, it assures the death of this man and likely his family as well. Second, it assures that it will be virtually impossible to get al Qaeda members to flip in the future and give up sensitive information. That means that our soldiers will be at a greater risk because they won't be able to get intelligence that might prevent some of them from being killed.

I suppose that, if you world view that anything that hurts the ability of our soldiers to do their job is a good thing, then this is great news. However, to rational, sentinent human beings this is a bad thing.

Sheik -

Do you realize that the truth is the truth, no matter what the political consequences?

Do you realize that this clown is a Zarqawi aide? Who cars about his worthless life!

Do you realize that the decision to release this information was made by the Jordanian Governtment? All ABC did was report the news. That's what a legitimate news organization does, but then you Fox News viewers wouldn't understand that... your agenda is to smear the MSM, even if you are advocating the protection of Al Qaeda operatives in the process. You disgust me.

From the Blotter:

Karbouly also admitted to his role in the kidnappings of two Moroccan embassy employees, four Iraqi National Guards and an Iraqi finance ministry official.

In a videotaped confession, Karbouly said he acted on direct orders from Zarqawi.

The notion that this clown would ever be set free is pretty bizarre, and if Al Qaeda kills him my guess is only the Bouty-man will cry. I won't.

Why doesn't any of this surprise me?

"Dr. Alexis Debat, former advisor to the French minister of Defense on Transatlantic Affairs, is a visiting professor at Middlebury College, Director of the Scientific Committee for the Institut Montaigne (Paris) and a Senior Consultant to ABC News in New York."

Friggin' douchebag.

Wonder if old Lee Lee would say any of his shit to you face to face. My guess is no because you can tell a COWARD by his gusto when he is preaching behind a desk where no one can see him. What say you asshole?

Steve L - Take it up with the Jordainian officials who decided to release the information.

An Iraqi customs agent secretly working with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror cell spilled the beans on the group after he was arrested, Jordanian officials tell ABC News

Sadly, it's apparently too late. You guys have been sitting in the right-wing blogger's circle for too long - you've gone blind.

What about his relatives and his friends?

What of the willingness of others to supply intel?

What of the fact that the media will death-grip protect the identity of a woman who fakes a rape; but publishes the names and faces of the accused?

If you fail to understand the ripple effect damage to the war effort along with the glaring hypocricy ... might I suggest you remove your hands from your face.

Lee,

...and you are pretty dumb too.

Do we also have all of his family and acquaintances in custody? They'll be dead as well. But that's OK, as long as the truuuuttthhhh is told, right, Lee.

They have also just revealed yet another source of intelligence. Wouldn't want to keep the islamofacists guessing, would we, Lee? Not as long as the trruuuuuuttttthh is told.

Dimwit.

What about his relatives and his friends?

Sounds like you have a beef with the Jordanian officials who released this info. All ABC did was report the news.

While I agree this will endanger his family and make it harder to get informants in the future, a commenter at the abc blog made an interesting point:

I generally agree with the comments above personally. However they report this because the government leaks it because they want the information out. What is does is get the terrorists wondering about each other and whether they can trust one another. That is, if they got to Karbouly did they get to the subhuman sitting in the cave across from me? It is part of the psychological warfare because Karbouly is of no use to anyone now and they feel we are better off letting the terrorist know we can get into the inside. You can dispute the methods, but I don't think it is fair to blame ABC however left-wing Bush-haters they are.

Do you think Joran released the info to ABC and no one else?

Do you think Jordanian news agencies aren't publishing this info as well? What about Iraqi newspapers and television?

Of course they are!

Blind... you guys are deaf, dumb and blind, and total idiots.

forrest,

OK, that just makes them an accessory.

"OK, that just makes them an accessory."

No, it makes them a News Organization. You Fox News/Hate Radio/Limbaugh/Whizbang/Michelle Malkin viewers, listeners, and readers don't have any idea anymore about what makes a bona fide news organization. Amazing.

You have a beef with the fact that this info got out? Tell the Jordanian government!

get off it lee. the kos feverswamps are calling for you.

You can email President Bush, VP Cheney, Congressional Leaders & Rush Limbaugh from my eclectic homepage. You can also read Chapter One from Ann Coulter's Best Selling book GODLESS!

Wow, Steve! Great! Now go spam somebody else, ya dink.

the kos feverswamps are calling for you

I thought these were the kos fever swamps.

Then again, maybe this is simply a cover story that the government has released to cover the ID of a real informant inside of AQ. Perhaps the MSM is simply being used. Having spent a wee bit of time in MI, such a possibility is not out of the question.

So look it this way folks, maybe the resident fool is actually helping us out this time.

And while we're turning our attention towards me (where it belongs), this shit -- I now will question everything regarding the journalistic integrity of ABC News -- is just shit.

One editor on one day does a dumb thing, and so the entire enterprise is bankrupt? Have you followed George W. Bush for any length of time? He leaks, he lies, he stumbles, he fumbles, and his fans treat every word he speaks as if it were gospel (I have been authoritatively informed that W is "God's perfect man").

You doubt the integrity of ABC? I doubt you exist.

"you Fox News viewers wouldn't understand that... your agenda is to smear the MSM, even if you are advocating the protection of Al Qaeda operatives in the process"

That's right Lee, it's us Republicans who are so partisan that we find ourselves saying the same things as America's enemies.

lol at astigafa

forrest - Sorry, but I'm right on topic. Here's what got to me in Talkback's post.

I now will question everything regarding the journalistic integrity of ABC News. Not that I didn't before, but for a blog entry posted at 11 AM, they've had more than sufficient time to recant the sensitive information, and post an explanation. But they haven't, and probably won't.

Just another example of the culture of corruption that is constantly attacking legitmate news organizations these days. Talkback is just doing what's he's told - but look who's telling him to do it.

It seems quite likely than me that this is disinformation to put the bad guys on the wrong trail. If we really have informants among them, it makes sense to point the finger in the wrong place. Perhaps I give the good guys too much credit, but aren't we smart enough to feed nonsense to the dopes in the newsrooms?

I felt the same until I found out that this information was first revealed by a press release from the Jordanian government. By the time ABC reported it, the story had already traveled around the world.

Not that I'm defending ABC in general -- they're a bunch of pretend journalists who are doing all they can to keep Bush from conducting his war on terror.

As for the poor dude who spilled the beans, the things he has confessed to doing already warrant the death penalty. Whether he's hung in Jordan or shot on the streets of Baghdad, it really won't be a bad thing to see him go.

Lee, we know your politics from previous posts. Have someone you know, who is literate, get a dictionary and have them look up the word "hypocrite" for you, and have them read to you, the definition. I would advise you to look up the word "truth", but the definition would be lost on you. ABC (Anti Bush Correspondents) only broadcast that which will harm this adminstrations efforts in whatever endeavor. Here is some truth for you. Do you know what Bill Clinton was doing to Kathleen Wiley as her husband was dying? Bet you cannot find out from ABC.

Huh ... interesting. I bet the very same people that are saying, "Who cares if this snitch gets killed? He's terrorist scum too!" also whine endlessly about the poor, poor souls being "tortured" at Gitmo or had panties on their head at Abu Ghraib ....

astigafa, You claim the President leaks, lies, stumbles and things of that nature. You ofcourse, can back up your lies. Since the Presdient is the decider, he can not leak. You cannot show one instance where Bush has lied. Notice how al-Qaeda got stronger and stronger during the 90"s. Notice we have on had a successful terrorist attack on us since 9/11. If that is your idea of stumbling, what do you call the fumbling moves Clinton made concerning terrorism? You are not capable of truth, so why bother.

1) Lee, we know your politics from previous posts. Have someone you know, who is literate, get a dictionary and have them look up the word "hypocrite" for you, and have them read to you, the definition.

People do a lot of that here, "Can you say/spell/understand the word hypocrite?" Illiteracy is rampant.

2) the poor, poor souls being "tortured" at Gitmo or had panties on their head at Abu Ghraib

I have panties on my head right now; doesn't seem to hurt anything.

Are we sure this is a real guy, and the right guy?

The release of this info just doesn't make any sense; if you release it someone will print it.

I just don't understand this release, unless it is part of a misdirection, otherwise it is a huge F'up.

What I said on an earlier thread pertains here, it should be no surprise that MSM reporters want to handicap our intelligence efforts. Simply put, they want things to go bad for the USA in the Middle East.

I think the Bush administration in conducting the GWOT has already taken into account the fact that the American left and the MSM want things bad for the USA in the Mideast, and assumedly are currently conducting their strategerie in the GWOT with that (sad) fact in mind. In other words, even if the leak was an intentional "psy-op", it would have been done with the calculation that the MSM WANTS US TO LOSE IN IRAQ (which would be a factor in how the psy-op would have been done)!
