Just remembered that old “joke” prior to bin Laden’s death about how the most dangerous job in the world was to be the number 3 guy in Al-Qaeda.
al-Qaeda's #3 at the time of 9/11 was actually Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was captured not too long afterwards and has been held since. Although I'm sure he was replaced by multiple people including some who were later killed.

Either 3rd or 2nd was Mohammed Atef who was killed before Afghanistan fell.

The US military isn't an occupation force, so I'm glad to see it going back to what it does best- bombing and drone strikes.

This was actually the CIA not the military.
