Fine. Explain to me then why virtually EVERY intelligence service in the world agrees that he had them as late as 2000: Britain, Australia, JAPAN (today), Israel, Russia, China, and so on. Every one.

Now, I could see him fooling one intel service. Maybe two. But not all of them. That's a little too tough.

You think they all get their intel from independent sources? The services share information and there is no good reason to believe any of the services you mentioned had any better sources than we did.
