Bin Laden underwent treatment in July at Dubai American Hospital

Osama bin Laden underwent treatment in July at the American Hospital in Dubai where he met a US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, French daily Le Figaro and Radio France International reported.

Quoting "a witness, a professional partner of the administrative management of the hospital," they said the man suspected by the United States of being behind the September 11 terrorist attacks had arrived in Dubai on July 4 by air from Quetta, Pakistan.

He was immediately taken to the hospital for kidney treatment. He left the establishment on July 14, Le Figaro said.

During his stay, the daily said, the local CIA representative was seen going into bin Laden's room and "a few days later, the CIA man boasted to some friends of having visited the Saudi-born millionaire."

Quoting "an authoritative source," Le Figaro and the radio station said the CIA representative had been recalled to Washington on July 15.

Bin Laden has been sought by the United States for terrorism since the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. But his CIA links go back before that to the fight against Soviet forces in Afghanistan.

Le Figaro said bin Laden was accompanied in Dubai by his personal physician and close collaborator, who could be the Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahari, as well as bodyguards and an Algerian nurse.

He was admitted to the urology department of Doctor Terry Callaway, who specializes in kidney stones and male infertility. Telephoned several times, the doctor declined to answer questions.

Several sources had reported that bin Laden had a serious kidney infection. He had a mobile dialysis machine sent to his Kandahar hideout in Afghanistan in the first half of 2000, according to "authoritative sources" quoted by Le Figaro and RFI.

Yeah... that's credible!

OBL is evil incarnate. Why would Bush let the CIA do this under his watch? The French Press must be lying as there is no way that Bush would let this happen.

France sucks. You can't trust that socialist state at all. They are probably all working with the DemonRATs to discredit President Bush!

[Pericles]

Why? thats the question answered in my link at the end of the article.

[Pericles]

not Bush----Clinton.

[Pericles]

fyi

[Governor StrangeReno]

Probably the same chap who handles airstrike requests.

[BushRu]

I don't understand. Are you saying that Bush is working WITH Clinton? Like hell! President Bush would never work with Clinton!

[Pericles]

--NOT BUSH--IT IS CLINTON THAT WAS IN BED WITH OSAMA. English is still the lingua franca of this nation, no?

[BushRu]

YES! I AGREE! It is NOT Bush! Bush would NOT allow OBL to leave that hospital alive, especially with a kidney transplay or whatever the hell that he was there for!

But, the FRENCH say that this happened in July, under a President Bush controlled CIA. I think that the French are lying through their little pointy socialist teeth to discredit President Bush!!!

[Pericles]

For you to better understand. From OSAMA IN THE BALKANS

"Several of the 9/11 hijackers are said to have held Bosnian passports. The New York Times [June 26, 1997] reported that one of the terrorists arrested in connection with the bombing of US installation at Al Khobar, in Saudi Arabia, had been a top commander of the Bosnian Mujahadeen, and had admitted to having ties to Bin Laden.

That the Clinton administration turned a blind eye to this connection is among its greatest crimes, in retrospect, far more serious than presidential perjury and Oval Office trysts."

[Pericles]

The CIA is not a car you can throw someone the keys to when it get's a new driver. This policy was entrenched for 8 years under Clinton/Gore.

[pittsburgh gop guy]

"a few days later, the CIA man boasted to some friends of having visited the Saudi-born millionaire."

yes - and CIA agents are known to be blabber-mouths....

[BushRu]

So you're saying the the French are not lying and that perhaps some Klinton CIA holdovers were talking to OBL? Perhaps these Klinton CIA holdovers were helping OBL commit 9/11! I wouldn't put it past Klinton. He lied about Lewinsky, and I know that he lies about everything else! He's nothing but a damn liar.

[Pericles]

the agency isn't what it used to be.

[Pericles]

The Pentagon hinted as much....but they said teh Taliban were stealing food (which is stupid since we are feeding them anyway). If we told the world that we were hitting Osama's medicine the soccer moms might feel a little quezy.

Now back to the article at hand. When will we try the Clinton administration for treason? (boy, am I on message this post).
