Thanks Benwood. ((I always thought BL either was killed or was allowed to escape. Somewhere there are a few US Marines who know the real story, who were ordered to stand down at a critical time, or who allowed him to slip through at a critical juncture.)) I believe the incident you are referring to was when Bin Laden was purportedly allowed to escape through the mountain pass at Tora Bora. Here are a couple news items/articles that discuss this incident. cnn.com topdog04.com youtube.com (not sure what's up with squeeky voice in this video) antiwar.com I mean why on earth would we have wanted to actually CAPTURE Bin Laden? It was our entire pretext for our subsequent invasion of Eurasia! It would have been entirely counter-productive to actually CAPTURE Bin Laden, which was precisely never our intent. How COULD it have been?! Unless, of course, our invasion of the Iraq and Afghanistan was truly about democracy and justice, in which case it WOULD have been in our interests to capture Bin Laden. But it wasn't, and therefore it wasn't. How incredibly sad and pathetic. glenn
