Why the trail leads to Bin Laden

Because it is intended to lead to bin Laden, that's why.

Flight manuals left in rental cars previously known as a way to track down bombers? Are we to believe that bombers never heard of taxis? Credit cards? Communications intercepts of bin Laden after the attack in which he acknowledges it but nothing before the attack? C'mon on. I didn't just fall off the cabbage truck, though the rest of the American populace seems to buy the idea that bin Laden acted without help. It's so facile to distill rage and fear into a pinpoint, then miss everything else. I'm thoroughly unconvinced, and think that the intellectual authors of this crime are Saddam and bin Laden.

If we turn Afghanistan into a parking lot, world opinion will turn against us. It already has been turned into a non-country by the Taliban, the Russians, and the internecine warfare of the past 15 years.

Gotta be smart. Lots smarter than the US public's demand for bin Laden's head. Go for the head of the snake.

elmat, you may be right about Saddam. It certainly is logical. The Bin Laden portraits, an obvious diversion. Bin Laden may even be a willing public front.
