This is the article being quoted on CNN.

Where's the BBC report that OBL and Omar were shot dead by their troops?

Travis you may well have gotten it right when you wrote your atricle a few weks ago.

Sabertooth this might well bring the pool back to a Paki pool.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

The Monitor is certainly more responsible in its reporting than the tabloids of the UK, but it is plain they are reporting an interview with someone with the clear motive to provide disinformation. I still have hopes he will fall into our hands in the field and his entourage will resist.

He says that most Al Qaeda members do not leave their elaborate cave complex unless they have to relieve themselves.

These guys are so smart they forgot to provide sanitary facilities inside their impregnable cave complex!

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

This makes no sense. Why would Osama send his son back to risk getting killed?

[b4its2late]

A virtual "Where's Waldo?"

[My2Cents]

Might these trips out of the caves be considered "information leaks"?

[ktupper]

Best thing we can hope for is that all these reports of his whererabouts keep popping up.

Then we have an excuse for taking down all these places where he is.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Wherever he is, I doubt that our troops have any intention of bringing him in alive. My personal preference would be to stick a daisy cutter up his butt (saving just enough DNA to make a positive ID).

[Moleman]

Let's face it, we have no idea at all where OBL may be.

[keepinitreal]

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

[Grut]

We seek him here, we seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!
Is he in Heaven? Or is he in Hell?
That demmed, elusive Pimpernel!

[DinkyDau]

Oh, well. Tora Bora or Pakistan...we'll get 'im.

[Righty1]

What kind of a jerk sends his 19 year old son to face the Daisy Cutter in his place?

[Peter W. Kessler]

...according to a firsthand account Wednesday by a senior Al Qaeda operative and Saudi financier.

I stopped reading the article at this point.

Pure Barbara Streisand.

[Badfoil]

Jaffar, who traveled with bin Laden in a truck out of Jalalabad, says: "Osama is my good friend. My own son was working with his son Salah Uddin in Ghazni.

Sounds like disinformation to me. Hey, if my best friend was running like mad, I'd create a diversion too!

[dwbh]

Let's face it, we have no idea at all where OBL may be.

Correction: the media has no idea where OBL may be. We simply do not know what the people in charge of this operation know, and for good reason.

[Pearls Before Swine]

....several days later, bin Laden sent his 19-year-old, married son Salah Uddin back to act on his behalf. He is now the only bin Laden family member inside the Tora Bora terror base.

Thanks, Dad!
