3. if they knew enough to know that, they'd already have him

and they wouldn't be fucking broadcasting it. this is unmitigated bullshit. either they already have him under wraps and are trying to build up a story, or this is pure fabrication all around.

4. But

Their wording is so vauge it could mean anything...

7. If I were on the run, and it had been in the newspapers for 2 years

that I was hiding in a particular place, I don't think you'd find me there.

8. I hope they do bring him in soon. It will prove to have no effect,

just like nabbing Saddam and his boys. Bin Laden is the last "hi-value target" they've got left. Grabbing him in September will leave plenty of time for the fact to sink in that nabbing any single person doesn't stop terrorism.
