#4 Here goes... "I question the timing". I am hoping the NYT/CIA overt ops leak about moving into the Wazoo is connected to this and, obviously, the Bhutto assassination. I expect the ISI could put their hands on almost any of these guys whenever they want to.

Though I could be wrong.

#6 Sorry but as long as he is in Pakistani hands I don't consider him as captured.

#7 This makes me think that Osama spends the "plurality" of his time in a major urban center of Pak as well, rather than the tribal areas.

I wouldn't be shocked if we found him (or Zowie) in a commandant's quarters or military hospital in Rawalpindi.

#9 Doc, Binny and "that crazy American kid" are hiding out in some TV studio off Hollywood and Vine living off hand-outs from Sean Penn, George Clooney and Susan Sarandon. The same people who hoaxed up the moon landing are the same ones behind this whole AQ thing. It just doesn't make sense, never has and never will. If we would only stay home and not bother anyone outside our borders we'd all be better off.

#11 Why should any reasonable person not believe that Bin Laden is already dead? After all of these years, his "appearances" become less and less frequent and the technology involved moves BACKWARDS rather than forwards ("still" photos with voiceovers of questionable origin rather than actual video).

#12 agree with Crusader. He's dead, but I really have no problem with him not being afforded martyr status. I think he'd be really bummed to know that he's being reduced to comic appeareances along side the American Dork.

#13 48 hr hold on ululating. The Nation (Pak version) is the same one that said BB was killed with a *laser*, per Bob Owens....
