Wanted: A Better Wanted List
From the Wall Street Journal: Although the FBI says it wants to �shape up,� it�s wanted posters for the 22 worst terrorists is embarrassing and outdated. Osama bin Laden, the most notorious terrorist in the world, is simply wanted for bombing U.S. embassies and �other terrorist attacks.� Not one of the 22 wanted posters mention September 11, though federal officials recently said Khalik Shaikh Mohammed was the mastermind of those attacks. His poster calls him a Kuwaiti citizen, but Kuwait claims he is not.
Meanwhile, the bureau still lists (and, presumably, is still looking for), Mohammed Atef. Atef was reportly killed by smart bomb in Afghanistan. �There�s an �X� right here,� said President Bush, pointing to Atef�s picture during a December meeting with reports, but the FBI must have missed that.
The State Department and the FBI lists contain a total of 22 names. Yet al Qaeda�s brain trust is reportedly 42 people - with six now dead and four captured. The other ten of the brain trust is not on the list.
