No truth to rumor bin Laden captured |
2004-01-22 |
There is no truth to a rumor in the foreign exchange markets that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has been captured, a U.S. official said on Thursday. "It’s not true," the official said when asked about the rumor. U.S. forces have been hunting for bin Laden since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America that were blamed on al Qaeda. Interesting rumor, wonder where it got started and why? |

#9 To find the origin rumor started, discover first who made a windfall profit due to speculation on the foriegn exchange market. The eldest Rothschild and Joe Kennedy are snikering in hell. |

#8 I guess I wonder what it would look like if he was captured... would it be announced on CNN breathlessly by a mournful talking head, or would would the "capturing entity" want to play "hide the weeny" for a while until those intel participants who have to still exist in that part of the world could cover up. Also, who is the unnamed "expert" who can say there is no truth to the rumor? I have sometimes wondered why someone just didn't announce him as found splattered, and let OBL have the burden of proof that he still breathes. then WHACK A MOLE! |

#7 There is a subliminal message that may help us if we run the latest audio tape backwards and up an octave. Hey, good as any, eh? |

#6 If he were captured, how long would we want to keep it quiet ? Seems you could do a lot with him in custody if no one found out. |

#5 If he was dead would we still be searching for him on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border? He's stil alive somewhere, probably in poor health, miserable away from his money, and hoping his followers don't see him as weak. |

#4 Scraping whats left of him off of a cave wall isn't the hard part - finding the right cave is. |

#3 M****cript! I was hoping we'd got him. BTW, I am praying that he repents. |
