What the hell are we bombing pill factories for anyway. If the governments of the countries that are harboring fugitive terrorists refuse to arrest and prosecute them then bomb their government buildings! After all if you are going to retaliate then retaliate in kind.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

''I have intimate knowledge of that factory and it just does not lend itself to the manufacture of chemical weapons,'' Tom Carnaffin, who worked as technical manager for the plant's owners between 1992 and 1996, told the Observer. Who would have more current knowledge, our CIA, or someone who worked at the plant "between 1992 and 1996"? I'd bet on the CIA, who have the assistance of detailed satellite imaging, not to mention field operatives on the ground in Sudan. I'm not saying we can't make mistakes, but generally the military does some homework before hurling cruise missiles. I think I will give the military the benefit of any doubt, at least until the military states it's reasons and evidence that it was indeed not just a pill factory. Carnaffin said the factory's owners, the Baaboud family, were in the process of selling it to a Saudi Arabian. Any names? Maybe it was to be sold to Bin Laden.
