There have been reports that casualties were suffered during the heroic rescue of Adil Farooq yesterday by members of the 22nd Samizdata Air Service (the spectacular SAS success being evidenced by Muslimpundit‘s site being updated today in spite of the efforts of the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Robert Fisk to silence it).
However other reports have indicated that the casualties were in fact the result of friendly fire suffered at a debriefing in London which extended into the wee hours of the morning, at a clandestine location near Tottenham Hale. DEBKA‘s ‘military sources’ suggest that Dr. Chris Tame, the infamous and shadowy figure behind the Libertarian Alliance (the person upon whom the fictitious ‘Dr. Evil’ was in fact based), was seen in the area where the debriefing was taking place. There is speculation he may have masterminded the daring rescue.
Similarly Dale Amon reported the SAS was also conducting intensive combat operations in Belfast yesterday as well. Due to the fog, the report from Northern Ireland was slightly garbled:
I’ll see what I can manage through the fog. There are two things to keep in mind:
* Christmas and New Year fall in the middle of the week.I leave the logical derivation of my state to the reader.
* I am in Ireland
War is hell.
