Perhaps he is already in US custody...? He has been chased down by Rangers, Seals, Marines (US and British), SAS (British, Australian, NZ). If they can't catch him, nobody can. My gut says he was caught long ago, and is languishing in a small concrete hole "somewhere..." Answering questions from time to time, as need be. His continued survival serves a definite purpose. And it is not a purpose al Qaeda would be particularly pleased with. Alternatively, an SAS sniper probably knows exactly where he is and what he's doing, and probably has an IR bead on him right now. If so, he would be a sneeze away from hi-velocity Martyrdom...

I respect your viewpoint and disagree. You may well be right -- and I'm not sure whether I'd think it a good thing or a bad thing.

However, I've seen how the "real world" works over the years, and have been constantly amazed. Don't be too credulous, don't believe everything you're told, because much of what you see and hear is bulldust. Orchestrated by others to deceive you.

What I do know is this: UBL has a whopping bounty on his head and some of the best trained, highly motivated professional killers that the world has ever seen (both military and private) on his trail.

Any one of his minions can win the 9mm Lottery with one well-placed bullet and a phone call to Uncle Sam. He is either the luckiest fugitive in world history, or something else is happening that we don't know about.

I vote the latter, because nobody is that lucky.
