He also explained why the Bush administration had so far failed to put together a consolidated database of suspect visitors to the US, the so-called "watchlist"

"Striking an upbeat tone on the prospects of hunting down the head of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, Mr Mueller insisted "we are safer today than we were on September 11".

Yes we are, because bin-Laden IS DEAD! He's deader than a doornail! He is an ex-parrot!

"In election year, the whereabouts of Mr bin Laden is a pivotal issue in President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s bid for a second term."

Unmitigated bullshit.

Mr Mueller did not give reasons for his confidence but media reports from south Asia have suggested that recent assassination attempts on General Pervez Musharraf, foiled in part thanks to the help of US government operatives and technology, have stiffened the resolve of the Pakistani president to ensure his country's assistance in the manhunt.

I thought he survived the attacks because his motorcade was going 80mph... that and, well, with, I guess, a touch of US know-how, his protective package was jamming frequencies of potential radio-triggered bombs.

Either there's less to this statement that Musharraf was saved by US intelligence or there's far more than we can know.

I'd venture to say there's far more.

Highlights from ministry of Kim Clement on TBN 01/12/04 OSAMA BEN LADEN WITHIN 35 DAYS!

Talk about stepping out, in Utica, NY, for those of you who don't know anything about my ministry, the Lord has given me very, very clear words about political things that have come to pass, very clear. We've had the Secret Service visit me a number of times and investigate because of these prophecies. They are more interested and they have interpretations for this that I and the church didn't even think about.

…Osama Ben Laden said that in 35 days, America, he was prophesying, predicting, that this country would be abolished basically, wiped out, because he has a plan for 35 days. And the word of the Lord came to me... the spirit of the Lord said to me, “You prophesy that the very thing that he said and predicted for this nation, tell him, prophesy, that that is reversed, and I'm going to bring him out in 35 days!”
