Somebody's lying about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

If you capture a terrorist kingpin, you don't tell the world about it, you keep it a secret until you can pump him for information and track down all his contacts before they realize he's been compromised.

So somebody's lying. Either some idiot leaked the information, or he's actually been in custody for some time, and everyone of significance has already been tracked down. Or he's really dead and they're trying to use the announcement to make someone think he's about to give away information.

It's suggestive that khaosworks refers this morning to another article, dated October 30^th that claims he was killed in a raid on his house September 11^th. That would fit either of the last two hypotheses.
