OSAMA BIN LADEN - AGENT PROVACATEUR?

Considering the close business ties between the Bushes and the Bin Ladens, I think there is reason for concern. It's not an entirely implausible notion that Osama hasn't completely broken ties with his former friends in the CIA.

If the US military/intel guys were really sincere about capturing OBL, wouldn't they have at least captured his wives and children by now in order to persuade OBL to give himself up? My gosh, our government is treating OBL's family with way more respect and diffidence than it did Randy Weaver's family or the Koresh bunch. Do you sense the note of hypocrisy in varying standards of engagement here?

How come we've only capture 600 of 30,000 or so Taliban in "the Stan"? Where's Omar? Out working his opium fields for Secord?
