The New York Times ran a story about the targeted assassination of Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri at a dinner in the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, but he never showed up.

The photo that accompanied the story showed an artillery shell mis-identified as part of the missile that struck the building the dinner was held in.

The good news is that the New York Times is getting closer to the truth by using a photograph of missiles now.

The bad news...

This is the photo they're using now:

Unless there's an option for increasing the range on those things from five feet to fifteen thousand miles and putting an explosive payload on them, I don't think Frisky is responsible for these particular (justified) killings.

On the other hand, whether or not he is a member of the CIA is classified information. As we've learned with the Valerie Plame affair, an operative could be riding a desk at Langley and they're still considered to be undercover despite havingbeen pulled from the field years ago.

But I wouldn't put it past Bob Novak to blab about it the next time he's geshlonkered on rum punch and Schlitz Malt Liquor.

Stupid old fart.
