For political gain

[unixronin]

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.

{mode=open-minded} Actually, the article did not say when he was captured, only that it happened "at the weekend." Which weekend?

From our perspective the most important factor (which is not addressed at all) is not when he was captured, but when the Pakistani government informed the US government of the capture. If the US government delayed the public announcement, I doubt that it was by more than a day or two.
