Here's the latest on the Osama bin Laden situation...


NEIN director Doug Hagmann has within the past 24 hours been in contact with the original source which had contacted him concerning the United States Special Operations Forces capture of an alQaeda HVT (High Value Target) within the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The source refuses to deny that Osama bin Laden is the HVT we "snatch and grabbed" in the Islamic Republic Iran. The capture occured on or about 20 January, 2004. This source advises us that the original unsolicited information
provided is 100% accurate.

The capture of Husam al-Yemeni (Ansar al-Islam and Abu Zarqawi's lieutenant) occured on or about 15 January and preceeded the capture of the Iranian HVT
(Osama). The capture of Hasan Guhl occured on Thursday, 22 January, and post dates the Iranian HVT (Osama) capture.


I will have an update on why the U.S. State Department issued the denial about Osama's capture instead of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Sean, what is the deal with the assassination attempt on Bremmer?

what's an HVT?

If we have Osama, why wouldn't the DOD or the State Department release that information? Seems to me we should be shouting it from the rooftops.

I'm not doubting that you've received this information, just doubting the logic and the process, if we indeed have him.

I am sure there is a reason why the government has not released this info if true. Just like they did not release info about President Bush's trip to Baghdad on Thanksgiving. They are well aware that loose lips sinks ships. And if there is someone that is in the government leaking this info to you or to anyone else, the least that should be done is to can the leaker.

Thanks for the update. Also thanks for your post #15392 on the original thread.

If true, this is a great honor to my mother's and Martin Luther King's birthdays
