That’s what ABC is reporting: “Armed with fresh intelligence, the CIA is moving additional man power and equipment into Pakistan in the effort to find Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahri, U.S. officials tell ABC News.”

I question the timing of this report. The Bush Administration is clearly just trying to distract the public from Dick Cheney’s blood clot… or Ann Coulter’s bigoted attention-mongering… or Gonzaga’s dual WCC titles… or something.

I knew it! Markov is played by John Noble, the same guy who played Denethor. His facial expressions were totally the same in the confrontation with Jack Bauer as in the confrontation with Gandalf. I half-expected him to blurt out, “Rule of Gondor is mine! And no other’s!” Yeah, let Chloe figure that one out…

Speaking of Chloe: we went a whole hour without any stupid Morris/Chloe subplot nonsense!! YAY!!!
