Usama Bin Laden Is Living Comfortably in Iran, Documentary Asserts By Ed Barnes - FOXNews.com Usama bin Laden gets up each morning in his dark, damp cave in northern Pakistan, gripped by fear, listening carefully for the telltale sound of a drone that is searching for him... An Iranian who supplied falcon camps says he saw and met with Usama Bin Laden six times since 2003. His eyewitness accounts adds to a growing body of evidence that the world’s most wanted is living comfortably in Iran. Usama bin Laden gets up each morning in his dark, damp cave in northern Pakistan, gripped by fear, listening carefully for the telltale sound of a drone that is searching for him. His isolation is almost complete. Only a few trusted associates know where he is, and they visit rarely -- bringing food and news, but careful not to fall into a routine. There is no radio or other electronic device whose signal might be followed. He can’t go out in daytime for fear of satellites. It is a grim, lonely existence.
At least, that is the picture that has emerged of the life of the world’s most wanted man since he fled Tora Bora in 2001.
But a new and vastly different picture of the Al Qaeda leader's life has been emerging over the past few years. In this scenario, he wakes each morning in a comfortable bed inside a guarded compound north of Tehran. He is surrounded by his wife and a few children. He keeps a low profile, is allowed limited travel and, in exchange for silence, is given a comfortable life under the protection of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
The idea that Bin Laden is in Iran got a strong boost recently with the premiere of a documentary called “Feathered Cocaine.”
Yes, since at least 9-11, Fox has used Usama. At one point, Fox also decided that all suicide bombers should be referred to as homicide bombers. The spelling has nothing to do with Zero.
The FBI should Put up 25 kg of 85% enriched uranium in lieu of $25 million dollar reward: http://bit.ly/dxUoS2

If this were true and 0bama had any balls (which I know he doesn’t, but let’s imagine) he would send the CIA in and kill Osama’s ass. What could the Iranians do? Protest? Admit they were sheltering him?
Ah, the old 'birds for bullets' scheme.
FOX isn’t alone with the Usama spelling, so does the FBI: http://bit.ly/dxUoS2
I don’t buy it.
There’s no way you could keep something that big a secret for this long. Someone’s bound to talk.
He’s dead, Jim.
This story is full of holes. First off, Iran would not necessarily keep it a secret if Osama had refuge there, in fact, he’s make an excellent bargaining chip during sanctions, or even F-16 parts. I guess that blows the “theory” he’s making audiocasettes because no background in Iran “looks like” Pakistan. Iran would at least secretly, want us to think he is there. You could put a blue bed sheet or whatever up anywhere and sit in front of it and talk on video. American left, he’s dead, get over it. Bush got him in Tora Bora.
Yep. Deader than a doornail and living in Iran. Same thing.
“Who do I believe now?”
Believe what the president of Iran when he threatens you:
AHMADINEJAD [Iran]: USA SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR NUKE ‘THREATS’...

[China and Russia eager to hear him — US, England, and France walk out.]
If Obama is there, so much the better. Kick the tires and light the fires. [But one problem though, 0 is teleprompter-in-chief.]
I mean, uh, Osama ...
bttt
This is what Yossef Bodansky claimed in his biography of Ben Laden.
Fox News has always spelled it that way. Even when the rest of the world calls him Osama, they persist in writing it as Usama.
I've always thought of it as their little contribution to political correctness.
I read right past it. LOL! An honest mistake.
I’ve seen it spelled both ways too.
Just wondering what is the correct spelling.
Follow the PROFIT Amigo!
For everyone except the politically correct Fox News, it will always be Osama.
Thank Ya , Thank Ya Vera Much
