You have to watch where you walk on Capitol Hill these days.

There seems to be another scrum up there about who is going to say what and when, and in which hearings.

Imagine that, on the other side of the world, an aide to a Jihadi leader sits watching CSPAN and various news channels, and poring over the writings of reporters and commentators across the web.

In a few hours, he has to go in to his boss and try to explain what is happening here and what its effect might be on them. And he will probably have to translate it all into another language.

What is he going to say?

Our guess: “It will all die down when Pelosi gets her airplane.”
