THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS HAD ANOTHER BIG STORY FIRST: THE LATEST CAPTURE AND TRANSFER OF AN AL QAEDA BIGGIE

IT WAS ALL OVER THE MSM AND BLOGOSPHERE TODAY: BIN LADEN AIDE CAPTURED AND TRANSFERRED TO GITMO. AP had it TODAY. The MSM followed suit during the day.

• WE HAD IT YESTERDAY. Yesterday - at 7:30PM - we picked up the story from it's first inklings: the purported sighting of the alleged "CIA rendition jet" in Hungary. We found the report credible and even speculated that it meant we had recently captured and were transferring an Al Qaeda biggie.

• WE WERE 100% RIGHT.

And blogospheric jihadi-hunter Numero Uno, Dr Rusty Shackleford of THE JAWA REPORT correctly and generously gave THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS the lead HAT TIP:

Top bin Laden Aide Captured!

Muhammad Rahim, a top Osama bin Laden aide, has been captured and transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Earlier this week news reports out of Hungary indicated that the CIA was moving a high-level prisoner. Same guy? Magic 8-Ball says, yes.
