To me this proves that our interrogation of enemy combatants is working.

[atruelady]

He probably evaded dressed as a woman or farm animal.

[hillary's_fat_a**]

A terror suspect held at Guantanamo Bay ... helped the al-Qaida leader escape his mountain hideout at Tora Bora in 2001

Gee, hope we didn't insult this guy or hurt his feelings by putting bloody woman's panties on his head ...

[wagglebee]

God forbid any terrorists are subjected to any discomfort or humiliation, that type of treatment is reserved for hospitalized Americans.

It proves little. He also could've just weaved a story to make himself appear more important in the eyes of other prisoners.

[wagglebee]

I thought of that, but my understanding is that the prisoners are not able to interact with each other very much, and I would hope that the people doing the interrogation are fairly well versed at discerning the truth.

"Bin Laden Evaded U.S. Forces

Equally profound...Thanksgiving in November

[JustDoItAlways]

Why does this story sound so vague?

AP?

[FlipWilson]

Quote: "Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, lambasted Bush during the campaign for having missed a chance to capture or kill bin Laden at Tora Bora, a mountainous area along the Pakistan border that became al-Qaida's last stand in Afghanistan. U.S. warplanes bombarded the area in December 2001, and Franks had Afghan soldiers lead the ground assault, backed by several thousand U.S. ground troops, including Special Forces, in a cave-to-cave search."

In other words: "See you stupid voters, Kerry was right, Bush was a screw up. See, don't ya see, stupid, stupid, stupid voters. You are so stupid, voters. Don't you see how stupid you were. We at the AP told you how stupid George Bush is and you didn't believe us you stupid voters. Now stupid, are you ready to vote for who we tell you to vote for. After all, you are stupid."

[aposiopetic]

Bin Laden, whose al-Qaida terrorist organization was behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States

Let's give Robert Burns and the AP credit for being accurate in this instance.

[Capt. Tom]

They want us to think Osama left Tora Bora but I think he is still there, and that's why we can't find him. We are looking elsewhere. - Tom

[wagglebee]

There is an easy solution, blow these mountains to hell and then sift through the debris.

[Flavius]

yes this guy was so good at evading he got cought

[LibertarianInExile]

What would we do without documents?

Thank you, James Taranto...

[LibertarianInExile]

Osama TOLD Saddam he had to get a better secret lair!

[Billthedrill]

Uh...help me out here. An unidentified guy provides unquoted testimony that another guy may or may not have been in a specific place, and unspecified evidence either confirms that presence or it doesn't. Other guys privy to the evidence available at the time state that maybe he was and maybe he wasn't, but the evidence we now have that we can't be told about tends to indicate that either he wasn't or he was.

By the way, this analysis is classified.

[Perdogg]

Didn't we drop at least one MOAB at Tora Bora?

[SoFloFreeper]

He evaded our forces? What was their first clue?
