#1 guy heads field unit. Guy fails miserably. Guy blames lack of resources, gripes about resources spent on central staff.

Then writes book blaming American Foreign Policy. WITH permission from the agency. Unprecedented?

Faster please, Mr. Goss, faster.

#3 Bin Laden has been called Sheik and he's sent out Fatwas meaning he's of equal religious authority as anyone else (that's easy in Islam). This is a bunch of crap in my humble opinion. Binny wouldn't ask for permission.

#4 Gotta agree there -- Binny's been talking the "kill millions" line for years. He doesn't need special dispensation from yet another nutjob imam.

Although, it would be appropriate to give the Saudi in question a .50 caliber headache.

#5 RJS,

To further your point, even if Bin Laden had no religious authority whatsoever, how many names would he have to call from the Islamic Yellow Pages (under Fatwa - Please See Religious Edicts) before he found some nutball who would give him the green light to nuke our cities, pee in the shower and park in handicapped spots without a permit.

A non-story from a man desperately trying to be relevant.

#6 Agreed. If binny had the capability to Nuke us he'd nuke us. This guy is trying to drum up sales for his book.

#7 If the man had any credibility, he wouldn't choose 60 Minutes as a platform from which to expound.

#8 RWV---Right on! 60 minutes is no endorsement of your story, quite the contrary, it probably means that you are pushing some LLL agenda. Kinda like the Better Housekeeping seal of approval for nutjobs.

#9 I'd be worried about this normally, but seeing as somebody *religious* gave their blessing, I'm sure its going to turn out just fine.

#11 Oh, boy! 60 Minutes! What's next, "Weekly World News"?

#12 I helped train and fought alongside Osama and his fellow Muslims against the Soviets in Afghanistan - I can believe he needs "religious authority" because, as I've said on the Net over the years, Osama SOULFULLY believes he is SALADIN INCARNATE, and MAHDI/Messiah and Savior of ALL Islam, the per se "living" re-incarnation of the great Muslim-Islamic leaders of history. Someone who is so needs psychological and spiritual "acceptance", however grudgingly, by respected religious leaders if not from all of them, as to personal and divine validity. I'll say this - no matter where he is in the world, and no matter what Muslim country he attacks or overthrows, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IRAN, THE GREAT MYTHIC FINAL BATTLEGROUND OF HEAVEN AND APOCALYPTIC ISLAM!
