Question. Why would you assume UBL would want to give us information freely that otherwise he knows is costing us tremendously in life and treasure? If he can make us wonder if we are chasing a ghost all the better for him. And that is for the masses, not for those on the hunt for him. They know what they know and he knows that. He is looking to affect the masses / Western public opinion.

Do you seriously believe the CIA disbanded units looking for AQ HVTs? A TF name change alone would allow for the silly/irrelevant stories about Alec Station.

That's why I think he's dead. In the example that I used, about the suicide bombers in the malls, can you imagine the economic impact on the U.S.?

At this point, the value of him issuing feasible threats and possibly being martyred is much greater than him continuing to hide. Nothing he did in Afghanistan vs. the Russians with the Arab Afghans leads me to believe he has any aversion to martyrdom.

Oh, definitely not. I'm sure they're still looking for the HVTs, I just don't think they feel they need to dedicate resources directly toward OBL.
