Obviously, none of us really know what is going on here. Pete Goss, in most probability, would not make this kind of statement unless it was part of some sort of Administration strategy. You can critisize this administration on many levels, but one area this administration excels at is controlling the message. This statement was clearly planned, and its use is part of some strategy on the part of the administration. It may be to apply pressure some where, it may be used to hamper some recent initiative by Al Queda, may be telling Pakistan you grab him now or we will, who knows. But what is for sure is that we don't know what the hell they are up to so critisizing this statement is not only premature but pretty stupid. Until we know more speculating on the reasons why is sensible, but speculating on its wisdom reflects more on the wisdom, or lack thereof, of the person making the speculation than it does on the administration.
