Check out who got picked up in Pakistan.

Note when they picked him up.

Note when they're making the announcement .... mere hours before John Kerry's acceptance speech.

Coincidence?  What do you think?  We deserved to know about this when it happened, not have it held back for cheap political grandstanding to divert attention from the DNC.
