Nice catch
Per the capture of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani in Pakistan, here's a recent article from The New Republic detailing the pressure the Bush administration has been putting on Musharraf and Co. to come up with a big-name collar in late July - during the Dem Convention. Ghailani was captured on Sunday, but his detention was announced yesterday afternoon. I haven't read the TNR piece myself just yet, but I will say that one needn't be a conspiracy theorist to find these machinations plausible and even unsurprising. (TNR link respectfully nabbed from Talking Points Memo.)

The black tea pirates got the attention of Peter Jennings for about 5 seconds. He said they were anarchists on bicycles burning effigies of Bush and Kerry, as well as the american flag. Ya can't buy press like that.
I like the word machinations.
