...political calculation: the Bush Administration wanted everyone to know it had nabbed an al-Qaeda big. The security calculation: it didn't want anyone to know who the person was while it "tickled the wires"--tried to provoke communications and movement that the U.S. could monitor. But the balls stayed in the air only a few days. Last week word leaked out that the captive was Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a thirtyish Saudi and a senior al-Qaeda lieutenant with a taste for naval terrorism.

But the balls only stayed in the air a few days. Last week word leaked out that the captive was Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a thirtyish Saudi and a senior al-Qaeda lieutenant...
...four others on the tapes--Muhammad Sa'id Ali Hasan, Khalid Ibn Muhammad Al-Juhani, Abd Al-Rahim and one as yet unidentified--had not previously appeared on America's most wanted list. Administration officials don't believe the tapes contain coded messages to al-Qaeda sleepers. Analysts say the tapes were created strictly for internal consumption or for the men's families. The men spoke of accepting their fate as martyrs, joining the war against infidels and becoming one with Allah, but they did not discuss specific targets or timing...
