Long but interesting read. At the local convenience store, we have an Indian that owns it. Last year he went on vacation to the UN (go figure.) When he came back I asked him what was the latest news. He said, " Bush will get Bin Laden 2 weeks before the election!" Wait and see:)
Washington is scrambling to react. Last month, U.S. News has learned, the CIA began a massive effort to pull operatives from around the world and redeploy them to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where al Qaeda's base of operations is still believed to be. "We think that's where the best effort can be made," says a U.S. counterterrorism official." The CIA declined to comment, but intelligence sources say the agency is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to recruit more Arabic and Pashto speakers; agency officials hope they will be able to corroborate signals traffic and intelligence from human sources with information from the al Qaeda computers and databases. "They want hard data," says an intelligence source familiar with the CIA's recruiting efforts, "and that's tough as hell to get."
