EXACTLY! Today the AP is reporting "ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (March 6) - Osama bin Laden is alive, in good health and living in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the suspected No. 3 al-Qaida leader told his interrogators after being captured last weekend, a Pakistani intelligence official said Thursday. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said he met with bin Laden in recent weeks using a complicated network of phone calls, runners and intermediaries to line up the visit, said the official, who participated in the interrogation."

If we didn't already HAVE Osamma bigLabia, why would we let this intelligence out to the press for him to be tipped-off and escape? ANSWER: WE'VE GOT HIM! Which is what the Prez's announcement will be tonight. Bet on it. Ahhh, the sweet smell of victory!

Maybe the Pres will have a live feed of OBL pleading with Saddam to come rescue him too...

No news organization would sit on such a story in order to give the president the opportunity to announce OBL's capture. This will be about Iraq.

I partially heard a report while I was shaving this AM. I swear they said they had him cornered in "Palookabad".

The reason we would do this is to make OBL move. He would be much easier to catch if he is flushed out.
