July Surprise

But isn't THIS odd? Published in the July 19th New Republic.

But according to this ISI official, a White House aide told ul-Haq last spring that "it would be best if the arrest or killing of [any] HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July"--the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

That's exactly when it WAS announced.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
