Suckersnagger,

The answer to your question is in the first post of this thread. By having the 'boogeyman' running around alive, the American people give Bush free reign to do whatever he feels he needs to, in order to "Protect the American People". But if Bin Laden is dead then more Americans might start to wonder "WTF is this guy doing?"

There are very good reasons from an intelligence and counterterrorism viewpoint that can be made to not publish Bin Ladens death. I think it is for those reasons that his death continues to be kept secret. If there were no reasons other then political, it would seriously piss off the career spooks. Bush is stupid, but is he stupid enough to really piss off the career CIA guys?


JLH,

Very interesting link. I also thought that the content of the last tape sounded nothing like the crap OBL spouted off during the 90's. Its funny to read that the biographer thinks OBL is dead as well.

TK, it is flattering to know that you pay such close attention to my advice . I hope your learning something. Maybe if you ask real nice I can teach you how to fish. BTW G.HW.Bush wouldn't have to spy on me, I'd take him along. I liked Pappy Bush. Its his son that I'd like to use as a float for an oversized crabpot.
