The guy has got 3 bullets in himself and he should be talking soon. He should talk, he knows all the faces, the characters, the field general according to the CIA report and now my own assumption is if he was in Faisalabad, that is quite an industrial town, he must be in touch with the real operators. The real sleeping cells and all these cells will have to run. If O and O are alive, this is the guy who will know where they are and they too will have to make a run. The second army of the Al-Qaeda will have to change their positions completely. This is a major victory for the US and whichever way you look at it, this capture is the CAPTURE! The guy was out since 11th Sept and he is the guy who has been handed over within 48 hours and this guy should be made to talk. I have my doubts on human rights for this case and midnight express is a great example that comes to mind. In my opinion, this is a bigger victory than the killing of Osama. He is the main operator and he is the guy who needed to be captured including the 18 who were just now captured clearly indicates that links are being followed and people are on the run. When people are on the run, they will be captured. Its pay time for all these vermin. Once again Pakistan comes out and plays the best of the roles that which S.Arabia and Egypt could not play. Imagine, Abu Zubaydah being captured by an arab state, they would just keep quiet since they wont want the wrath of the arabs upon them. In case of Pakistan, this is perhaps the best indication of commitment and Abu Zubaydah is history. No extradition, no court case, no formalities and the man is now in the Arabian gulf. Now he has to answer some serious questions and let him answer. I expect in the next 72 hours based on this mans capture some serious progress all over the world in capturing other cells and hence I see this news as a very positive news for the market. The risk premium should lower further and consumer confidence will rise once more. I see a 300 point move on DOW and a retest of 1182 on S&P. Have a good day in trading and hopefully as we move forward we find more leads and the world becomes a safer place for all so help us God. Amen Ike
