You're throwing ideas out, but you aren't backing it up with any real evidence or even theory. If Ahmadinejad didn't know about harboring bin Laden, do you know who would be responsible for such an operation? The Quds. They are Iran's version of SF/CIA types, and they are not going to defy their government and take the political risks of harboring the most wanted man in the world. Despite how much trash Iran talks, they do not want to be invaded. It is simply a power play to put themselves in the spotlight and show the rest of the Middle East that since Saddam is gone, Iran is the strongest country in the region now, which they are.

In my opinion, bin Laden is moving to and from secure locations in the NWFP, North and South Waziristan, and Peshawar, Pakistan. Our spying capabilities our extremely limited in those areas, especially with him on the move. Obviously, you didn't read the article I posted.

This is where I think he is: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/ma...akistan-t.html
LongRange27,

Do me (and the other SF'ers) a favor and quit quoting the NYT's, its about as credible as the National Enquirer.
