Special Forces wants to stop "spelunking" in Afganistan, and gear up for the waltz into Baghdad. NYT. Too long to post. Commanders Want Elite Units Freed From Qaeda Hunt By JAMES RISEN and ERIC SCHMITT [W] ASHINGTON, Sept. 2, Commanders in the American military's most elite Special Operations unit are contending that their troops should be freed from the fruitless hunt in Afghanistan for Osama bin Laden, military and intelligence officials say. Some senior officers in the Joint Special Operations Command have concluded that Mr. bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, was probably killed in the American bombing raid at Tora Bora last December, officials said. They concluded that he died in a bombing raid on one of several caves that had been a target because American intelligence officials believed they housed Qaeda leaders. nytimes.com
