#1 This seems to be based on the work of an Iranian intel turncoat who could be a plant.

I have no doubt Iran and Qaeda are allies of convenience. But the reason Iran won't let Binny make any more videos is...

I suspect every one would prefer Binny to be alive, but where's the pic? Dan has assembled the circumstantial evidence, in his usual and incredible comprehensive fashion, that he is with us still. But I can't imagine that he has really been cured of his video addiction.

#2 But ... but ... but they couldn't be allied. OBL was a Wahabi Sunni and the Iranian regime is Shiite. They would no more ally themselves than they would with a secular state like Saddam's Iraq.

Oh.

#3 This fits in with what I have been hearing from my Jordanian grocer who has lots of interesting things to say about Zarqawi as well.

I would rate it a distinct possibility.

I read Miniter's book Losing Bin Laden, and I thought it was excellent. It's well worth reading.

#5 Miniter is an excellent writer, but I believe he as well as this author are wrong about Binny's status.

Binny is wormdirt in a collapsed cave in Tora Bora. No TV since then and Binny woulda shoved even Joe Biden away from the cam to show his all-powerful, caliph-like face. Bought the farm. Bloomin' daisies.

No real and identified proof of his existence. No tape to "show-up" W before the election. No other rational reason for Binny to hide.

Ayman tells everyone he is in touch wtih Binny on the sly and they all believe, cause, you know, we're talkin' BINNY here. Caliph-to-be, the Potential Potentate, the ayatollah of rock-and-rolla! They can't admit his death-by-JDAM. Sheesh.
