[history]
22 January 2004; 1905 EST: UPDATE: We are aware of the denials issued by the United States Department of State and the reports of US denials carried by various news outlets such as Reuters that Osama bin Laden has not been captured. We became aware of the initial rumor of his capture at the time it began circulating earlier today, and we were fully aware of the official denial. We do have verifiable intelligence, however, of "unusual movements and activities" of special US forces in certain areas where bin Laden and al Zawahiri have reportedly been seen - however we will NOT disclose this information to avoid compromising the safety, welfare and special operations of our men and women of the military. According to two highly placed and credible human sources within the intelligence community, these movements are indeed related to a "HVT" (High Value Target) within al Qaeda. Our sources are firm in their assertions that there is a "significant advancement" in the ongoing war on terror.

Just a rumor folks--but an interesting one. Has anyone heard of Northwest Intelligence Network before? I found it through Tasty Manatees blog.

Don't worry, don't worry....Bush will pull him out on Sept. 11, just like all the good libs know - for his OWN political gain! hehehe...This always makes me chuckle!

Lotta hype from them, little substance. Debka has a better track record.

The Northwest Intelligence Network is the US version of DEBKA. Some hits, a lot of misses and near misses.
This latest rumor though has some legs to it.

Oh, if only this were true...

Has anyone heard of Northwest Intelligence Network before? Yeah, we have. Mostly rumors and BS. You never know, though.

I hope if they do have him that they keep it quiet for awhile so they can tie up the loose ends before they bury themselves.

I think healthy skepticism should be the order of the day for this one. We can, however, hope that our skepticism is proved wrong.

The Northwest Intelligence Network is operated by a 45 year old guy who lives in his mother's basement and delivers part-time for the florist. Other than that, it's pretty credible.

Nabbing Bin Laden is like nabbing Saddam. There would really be no way to keep it quiet, nor any reason to. It would also be difficult, if not impossible, to 'stage' his capture later on, and even more so to keep the truth from coming out later on.

There is a faction here on FR that swears by NEIN....check out the thread regarding al-q threatening to blow up NY and LA....the guy who runs NEIN posts there daily.
I urge caution, though, as they are rather fanatical about NEIN and this guy (Sean Osborne).
To: Steel Wolf
I could think of a few reasons to keep it quiet.

All we need to do is call up Mansoor Ijaz (male Rita Cosby) and axe him to confirm or deny.
