Best. Airtight. Alibi. Ever. Agence France-Presse said a Taliban source had identified Abdullah Khadr as the attacker who on Jan. 27 jumped on Murphy's jeep and blew himself up. He is the 22-year-old son of Ahmed Said Khadr. "If I was the suicide bomber, I wouldn't be doing this interview with you right now," Khadr told CBC News on Wednesday.

It's a trick! Somehow.

Intern him until we figure out how he did it!

Convenient ... too convenient.

You wouldn't think this "Taliban source" might have been passing on some unreliable information, would you? Maybe that "Taliban source" could do us all a favor and finger John Ashcroft for having secret meetings with Bin Laden ("Yes, we've definitely narrowed down the terrorist leader's location... it's either conference room #2 or #3....")
