Taleban attack Cheney

I don't really know about the rumors/claims that the Taleban had intel about Cheney's visit. (After all, wasn't it highly predictable that he would travel to Afghanistan after very publicly meeting with Musharraf?)

What intrigues me more is the timing. Many other officials, including Bush, Rice, and others, have made the double visit with Sec Def Gates doing it just two weeks ago.

I find it a little more than coincidental that this visit, right after Cheney blasted/threatened the Pakistanis for allowing safe havens in the tribal areas, was the one where this attack takes place.

Nothing concrete, it just seems very funkily timed, no?
