EXCLUSIVE: Mullah Omar Captured! -- Big JournalismThrough key intelligence sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan, I have just learned that reclusive Taliban leader and top Osama bin Laden ally, Mullah Omar has been taken into custody.
According to the State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program there is a bounty of up to $10 million on Omar for sheltering Osama bin-Laden and his al-Qaeda network in the years prior to the September 11 attacks as well as the period during and immediately thereafter.
At the end of March, US Military Intelligence was informed by US operatives working in the Af/Pak theater on behalf of the D.O.D. that Omar had been detained by Pakistani authorities.

My Comment: Andrew Breitbart (he is the founder of Big Journalism, Big Hollywood, and Big Government) is laying the groundwork to develop a news blog site devoted to national security/military issues .... he feels that there is a void in this area of news coverage .... of which I agree. As to this story .... I know that he has excellent contacts in this area .... so there is a possibility that there are some legs in this story. I am still skeptical, but I do know that his and Brad Thor's sources are very good.
I will give this story another week or two before passing judgment .... if it is true we will probably know about it by then.
