Well that would be my preference. Another extraordinary circumstance in Yemen happened the other day. An al Qaeda jailbreak included Jamal Ahmed Badawi, the mastermind of the USS Cole terrorist attack where 17 of our bravest were killed by the terrorists' sucker punch. The piece of garbage is shown below without his mask.

Lately, well for the last say 10 years, Sen. Arlen Specter never fails to disappoint me. He's been sounding an awful lot like Ted Kennedy lately. And, as Mark Levin says, why is he going unchallenged by his own party?
Specter, Out There and Unchallenged. Is Arlen Specter really as clueless as he appears to be? As reported by UPI, "[a]ppearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Specter called the administration's legal reasoning "strained and unrealistic" and said the program appears to be "in flat violation"... [And Another Thing . . .]

When looking for a needle in a haystack, you have to look at the haystack too. So why should anybody be surprised to learn that the vast majority of surveillance work yields such a low rate of return? The reality is that it only takes one terrorist to be lucky once to complete his (or her) mission, which is why the NSA surveillance should absolutely continue, rather than exploit it as a justification to end it.
"It's the nature of intelligence that many tips lead nowhere, but you have to go down some blind alleys to find the tips that pay off." -- Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden on Jan. 23.
This rate of return analysis can't be logical unless you also weigh the amount of destruction that one lucky terrorist can commit. Should we give up because it's too hard? Until terrorists decide to give up, we shouldn't either.
