Bin Laden on Death Bed, Claims CIA

Washington: Two officials of the US intelligence agency CIA have claimed that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was on death bed as he suffered from a terminal kidney disease, and may live only for a few months.

The intelligence agency also managed to get the names of some of the medications Bin Laden was taking.

One of the two CIA officials familiar with the report that came out six-nine months ago, quoted it as saying, “Based on his current pharmaceutical intake we would expect that he has no more than 6-18 months to live and impending kidney failure.”

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was the first person to claim that Laden suffered from kidney disease and was on dialysis.

“It’s trying to make a diagnosis from thousands of miles away with only fragments of the medical chart,” the Time magazine quoted Paul Pillar, the former top analyst and deputy director of the CIA's counter-terrorism centre, as saying.

Frances Fragos Townsend, who was chief of the White House Homeland Security Council said, “I've read all the same conflicting reports that people have talked to you about. I never found one set of reporting more persuasive than another.”

My attitude towards vital status of Osama Bin Laden can be summarized by two quotes:

"Do not count a human dead until you've seen his body. And even then you can make a mistake." --A Bene Gesserit Saying (Frank Herbert, _Dune_).

"[Osama Bin Laden is] either alive and well or alive and not too well or not alive."--Donald Rumsfeld

One of the most important and difficult things to learn, confess and live with is that there are things that you simply do not know. The Evidence is not in and it might never arrive as OBL:s compatriots might quietly bury him in some nameless hole to keep the myth alive. But this is not reason enough to stop looking...

Well, I’m excited about the idea anyway. Even if it’s a thing that I don’t know that I don’t know.

I get that whole thing. I really do, Rummy.

Hoorah.

Would passing one kidney stone per day be bad enough for you?

One a day? No... One an hour, or more? Now, we're talking...

[himno hero]

yup.

But, they could start by asking one Charles Taylor who had him (and his entourage) as a guest living at Benoni Urey’s compound in Kerrysburg, Liberia for over a half a year. I would bet they knew where he went to after Liberia.

They tell me that its easy to find Taylor at the Hague!
